Reading Science

In summary, according to the latest PISA results, the U.S. ranks 30th in math, 19th in reading, and 14th in science out of 79 participating countries. The U.S. consistently ranks lower than many other developed countries in these subjects and has remained relatively stagnant over the years. Factors such as education policies, teaching methods, resources, socio-economic status, and parental involvement all contribute to the U.S.'s performance. Some proposed solutions for improvement include implementing rigorous curriculum, providing better teacher training and support, increasing education funding, and addressing issues of inequality.
