Summer learning loss sounds plausible. But how reliable are these claims? How many of these findings can be replicated? Is summer learning loss really a thing?
So what do we know about summer learning loss? Less than we think. The problem could be serious, or it could be trivial. Children might lose a third of a year’s learning over summer vacation, or they might tread water. Achievement gaps might grow faster during summer vacations, or they might not. Results from older tests can’t be replicated on modern tests, and modern tests don’t necessarily agree with each other. But it is almost surely not the case that summer learning loss accounts for two thirds of the achievement gap at the end of eighth grade.
