WASHINGTON (AP) - More students are learning the basics when it comes to history and civics, but they aren't rising to the next level, national tests show.
The history and civics tests were given to students nationwide in the fourth, eighth and 12th grades last year, and the results were released Wednesday.
History scores increased in all three grades over 2001, the last time that subject was tested. Only fourth-graders showed progress since the last civics test, given in 1998. None of the grades saw an increase in students moving beyond a basic competency for either subject.
