A National Center for Education Statistics NAEP report card for civics (2010) stated that “levels of civic knowledge in U.S. have remained unchanged or even declined over the past century”. Specifically, only 24 percent of 4th, 8th, and 12 graders were at or above the proficient level on the National Assessment of Educational Progress in civics.[12] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civics
