Why we checked itSpecific claim that math and reading test scores declined during Lamont's administration — verifiable against Connecticut state assessment data.
What we foundConnecticut math and reading scores are below pre-pandemic (2019) levels, but the characterization of a simple 'fall' under Lamont is overstated because scores dropped sharply during the pandemic, have been recovering steadily since, and on recent NAEP tests remained stable or improved.
