Abstract
The pandemic caused major setbacks, the most visible in the education system, such that there has been a noticeable decline in students' education across multiple classes; the main subjects including reading and mathematics. In Illinois alone, the number of schools that didn’t teach reading and the number of schools that didn’t teach math either increased, “Pre-covid, there were 21 zero-reading schools and 37 zero-math schools in Illinois. In 2023, that grew to 32 and 67, respectively”(Wirepoints, 2024). This paper aims to do a comparative data analysis of the educational attainment among children of America, pre-, during, and post the pandemic, and hope this data can be used to formulate a better school system so that its students can thrive and have a deeper understanding of the subjects. Understanding these issues contributes to the fourth goal of the United Nations of quality education.
