Is it possible that there are trailing or leading spaces? If you "name the
fields" your names must exactly match the values returned by the expression.
An extra space or missing character will return the column with that name but
the column will be empty. Also make sure you are using the exact same dash
character.
You might try the following to eliminate the possibility of leading or
trailing spaces.
PIVOT Trim(LMMI_Assessment.[AssessmentTestName])& "-"&
Trim(AssessmentPartName) IN ("3rd Ach-Math","4th Ach-Reading")
You could try opening the table LMMI_Assessment and copying and pasting the
values into the SQL statement's IN clause and see if that works. Tedious, but
that should ensure that you have no misspelled values.
If your fields are in an Access table then a size of 255 should have no effect
unless you have imported the values from an external source.

Currently the 2 fields are 255 characters -- does that make a difference?
