Moms for Liberty and other ultracons are misusing NAEP and Kansas Assessment data to create a false narrative of failing schools. This article is about NAEP, but the same thing is happening with respect to the Kansas Assessment, which according to NAEP has the highest cut scores in the country. JOCO M4L are claiming about 50% of Blue Valley students are not performing adequately, when 90% of Blue Valley students go on to college. Which statistic looks gamed to you? Don’t fall for this and don’t let your neighbors who don’t have kids in school fall for it either.

“When Moms for Liberty share this misleading image, they want readers to think that NAEP Proficiency is equivalent to grade level performance and, therefore, America’s schools have failed to teach our 4th grade children to read. They are misusing NAEP data and creating a false narrative.
