PISA maths

Tier A· Official

Mean score of 15-year-olds in mathematics on the OECD PISA assessment. Participating economies only (~80).

100 = highest mathematics score in the dataset, 0 = lowest — participating economies only, not a world ranking

Mixed reference years (2009–2018). This metric uses each country's most recent available year, so countries are not all measured in the same year — cross-country comparison is weakened. Each row shows its own reference year.

How this score is built

Mean PISA score of 15-year-old students in mathematics — OECD Programme for International Student Assessment, distributed via World Bank indicator LO.PISA.MAT (CC BY 4.0). Direction is higher_better. Normalized with min–max across participating economies.

⚠️ Participating economies only (~80). PISA is a voluntary international assessment, so most of the map is "no data" — read it as a comparison among participants, not a world ranking. The reference year is the country's latest PISA round.

⚠️ Limited coverage — not a world ranking. Only 55 of 250 countries have data for this indicator, so most of the map is grey by design. Read the ranking below (the primary view here) as a comparison within the covered group, not a global one.

100 = highest mathematics score in the dataset, 0 = lowest — participating economies only, not a world ranking

The map is mostly grey because only 55 countries have data — this is expected, not a rendering error.
