Need advice regarding my 8 y/o's education and other matters.

Hello everyone. As you can tell I am in need of advice regarding my 8 yo's education. I received the scores for his last acadience assessment for both math and reading and according to the scores he is not doing well. But there is something I just don't understand. At the beginning of the years his scores were decent with the exception of some areas. Middle of the year assessment for math were either at benchmark or above but for reading, he was below in all areas except ORF Retell in which he scored at benchmark. End of year assessment has me absolutely worried as all scores fall well below benchmark. I just don't understand...at home he does a great job on his homework without my help. There are times that he is absolutely dreading his time doing the work and other times that I have witnessed him breeze through his work. I am starting to wonder if these scores are maybe due to a lack of actually trying his best during these assessments or if he genuinely is hurting in some areas. I feel like as parents we do our part by helping him when he needs it, helping him study his spelling words, read with him to correct any mistakes. I am frustrated because I feel like I do not know what it is going on. I have reached out to his teachers about what I can do at home and they have just recommended extra work for him like reading nightly which we have all year, practicing math facts which we have but how much work can I give my child before he becomes mentally fatigued? Not to mention the weekly math and reading tutoring sessions that he has been attending online after school on Wednesday's and Friday's. On a normal school day he's done with homework by 6-6:30pm. He doesn't get home till around 4:30 due to a 30-35 minute commute to and from school. Sometimes he'll come hungry and will want to eat before his homework. But is there anything, any resource that could have been offered by the school or sought out by me so that maybe this year wouldn't have ended with these scores? What could I have done and what can I do?

I am genuinely worried as I don't fully understand how to move forward and support him this summer so that this summer break his time may be used helping him in his weakness's and fortifying his strengths. Please, I am asking out of what feels like desperation...what do I do? What are the steps I need to take to ensure that my son not only improves in reading and math skills but also is prepared for next year so he does not fall behind. My heart is genuinely so heavy within me because of this.

Thank you all in advance.
