New TIMSS 2011 Highlights Report Compares U.S. Students with Their Peers Around the World

[2013009]This report from the National Center for Education Statistics summarizes the performance of U.S. fourth- and eighth-grade students on the 2011 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), comparing their scores with their peers internationally as well as documenting changes in mathematics and science achievement since 1995. The report also describes additional details about the achievement of students within the United States, by sex, racial/ethnic background, and the poverty level of the schools they attend. It also include state-level results for public school students in Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, and North Carolina.

TIMSS is sponsored by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), an international organization of national research institutions and governmental research agencies. TIMSS has been administered five times: 1995, 1999, 2003, 2007, and 2011. The United States participated in all five administrations. In 2011, 54 countries and 20 other education systems (including the 9 U.S. states) participated at grade 4 or 8, or both.

The TIMSS 2011 Highlights Report is a product of the National Center for Education Statistics at the Institute of Education Sciences, part of the U.S. Department of Education.
