Florida students’ performance on the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study aren’t anything to be proud of:\u00c2\u00a0Florida 8th-graders lag U.S. in math, science<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The results showed that Florida eighth-graders performed worse than the rest of the U.S. in math and science, while fourth-graders fared about as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The really interesting results, though, come at the end of the story (these are U.S. stats, not Florida):<\/p>\n

The results don’t show any significant difference between eighth-grade boys and girls in math, and a small difference between girls and boys in eighth-grade science.<\/p>\n

Boys in 12th grade scored 46 points higher than girls in physics and 30 points higher than girls in advanced math, according to the report.<\/p>\n

“The story is much different for advanced twelfth-graders,” Carr said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You can plow through tons of data, including Florida stats, here:\u00c2\u00a0Welcome to TIMSS and TIMSS Advanced Results from 2015<\/a>. The only state that has separate data available is Florida.
