摘要

The report presents information on the levels achieved in reading and arithmetic, as measured by the Wide Range Achievement Test, by U.S. youths aged 12-17. The data were obtained in the Health Examination Survey that was conducted from March 1966 to March 1970 by the National Center for Health Statistics. Information presented is essentially a continuation of that reported in a previous publication for children ages 6-11. The present report is limited to presentation of the findings on adolescents by sex, age, and grade in school.
