By: FEDweek StaffFourth and eighth grade students who attend Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools have been scoring better on aptitude tests than their counterparts in civilian schools.
In a recent report, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) stated that these DoDEA children outperformed students in 98 percent of the states in math, and 100 percent in reading in 2019. GAO based its findings upon information gathered through analysis of National Assessment of Educational Process (NAEP) data.
DoDEA provides education for children of military families in grades pre-kindergarten through 12. The federally sponsored agency operates 160 accredited schools in 11 foreign countries, seven states, and Guam and Puerto Rico. The GAO study focused on grades 4 and 8 because they provided the most comprehensive data available.
