A recent national report from a Wisconsin assessment company suggests students have started to bounce back from the learning gaps first created last spring, when schools across the state were closed.
Although the average student is still behind academic benchmarks based on how they would have been expected to grow and perform before COVID, students have made up ground since fall, according to a Wisconsin Rapids-based online testing program utilized by thousands of schools across the country, Renaissance Learning Inc.
The amount of progress students made in reading and math is close to what the company would expect during a normal school year.

Wisconsin schools look to continue, expand future virtual options
MILWAUKEE - Students across Wisconsin had no choice when school buildings shut down one year ago. Now, even as school districts point to the rapid shift to virtual learning as a factor in declining academic performance, administrators are exploring the idea of expanding future online learning. Districts that are able to get on top of that more quickly will be much better positioned to meet families’ needs, Wisconsin Center for Education Research scientist Dr. Bradley Carl said. And conversely, districts that don’t get going with that are going to lose enrollment.
