Only 25 percent of U.S. students score "proficient" or "advanced" in civics.

Are U.S. students being taught how to be good citizens? The answer is not well enough, according to an evaluation by The National Assessment of Educational Progress. It released its 2010 civics report card in May—the third such report in 12 years on the civic knowledge and skills of America’s young people. Only about a quarter of students scored “proficient” or “advanced” at all grade levels.
This assessment in reading, mathematics, writing, science, civics, geography and other subjects is given periodically to students in grades four, eight and 12. The 2010 assessment evaluated a nationally representative sample of more than 27,000 public and private school students.
