WASHINGTON (AP) — American teenagers aren’t doing as poorly on international science tests as adults think. Despite the misconception, people don’t think the subject should get greater emphasis in schools, a survey released Monday found.

More Americans than not wrongly think that U.S. 15-year-olds rank near the bottom on international science tests, according to a Pew Research Center for the People and the Press poll. U.S. students actually rank in the middle among developed countries.
