U.S. States' Mathematics and Science Achievement in 2011
BackIn the United States, besides the national samples of public and private schools drawn to represent the nation at grade 4 and at grade 8, several state public school samples were also drawn so that nine states could benchmark their student performance internationally. This page presents the results for these states: Florida and North Carolina at grade 4 and 8, and Alabama, California, Connecticut, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and North Carolina at grade 8.
4th Grade
- Among the U.S. states that participated in TIMSS at grade 4, North Carolina scored above the TIMSS scale average and the U.S. national average in mathematics, while Florida scored above the TIMSS scale average but was not measurably different from the U.S. national average in mathematics.
- In science, at grade 4, both Florida and North Carolina scored above the TIMSS scale average, but were not measurably different from the U.S. national average.
