Depends on the source, but unfortunately even the highest is like 8th grade.

The actual data is pretty complex, but it's suffice to say that we're not educating our kids to good.

I see what you did there.

At least, I hope it was intentional.

Lol, yeah. I'm no genius, but I like to think that I came out of the US educational system while it was still working to some extent. That was a long time ago. The kids in the past few decades, and the ones during Covid... I will never blame them for what we've done to them.
