The 2002 Brown Center Report on American Education: How Well Are American Students Learning? : With Sections on Arithmetic, High School Culture, and Charter Schools : September, 2002

by Tom Loveless

The Brown Center on Education Policy conducts research on topics in American education, with a special focus on efforts to improve academic achievement in elementary and secondary schools. The center seeks to inform policymakers at all levels of government, to influence the course of future educational research, and to produce a body of work valuable not only to policymakers and scholars, but also to parents, teachers, administrators, taxpayers, school board members, and the general public. The 2002 report address three whether arithmetic skills are declining; what U.S. students think of American high schools after attending school abroad; and how the nations top high schools in football, basketball, and baseball perform on tests of reading and math.
