Eileen Powell and I have taken a first stab by looking at math and English proficiency by grade cohorts. The answer: yep.

NEW: @laurenhlb.bsky.social and Eileen Powell assess the pandemic’s impact on student learning. Looking at students who were in kindergarten through 7th grade during the 2019–20 school year, they find COVID-related disruptions had larger impacts on older students’ proficiency rate trajectories.
