Aderholt Remarks at Hearing on Federal Investments in Elementary Education
February 26, 2025
Remarks

Good morning. Thank you to our witnesses who have come to testify before us for this important hearing. Today, this subcommittee will examine the effectiveness of Federal K-12 funding and the importance of school choice. I look forward to learning more from our witnesses about the state of our public K-12 schools,  challenges facing these students, and the trends these experts are seeing in the field. 

America’s students are struggling.  There is no way to sugar coat this fact. The results from the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress showed student test scores overall are below 2019 levels in all grades and subjects. Students have still not recovered from the pandemic, and the lowest-achieving students are disproportionately falling further and further behind. One-third of eighth graders nationwide are currently reading below the basic level.
