Low test scores indicate 'academic catastrophe' Skillman President & CEO Carol Goss called the failing math performance results by Detroit Public Schools' fourth- and eighth-graders an "academic catastrophe for our children and our community" and emphasized that "tinkering at the margins" isn't going to fix the problems. Goss delivered a response on Tuesday on behalf of the ExcellentSchoolsDetroit partnership after test scores for the National Assessment of Educational Progress, a standardized test given to 18 urban school districts, were released. Students are ranked from "below basic" to "advanced" in the math test. About 69% of DPS' fourth-grade students scored below basic. In eighth grade, 77% were below basic. The test scores mark the lowest performance in the history of the NAEP.
