NAEP Overview
NAEP Overview The National Assessment of Educational Progress
(NAEP), also known as "the Nation's Report Card," is the only nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America's students know and can do in various subject areas.
NAEP is authorized by Congress and administered by the National Center for Education Statistics in the U.S. Department of Education.
NAEP Overview Since 1969, assessments have been conducted
periodically in reading, mathematics, science, writing, U.S. history, civics, geography, and the arts.
Starting in 1990, NAEP assessments have also been conducted to give results for participating states. Those that chose to participate received assessment results that report on the performance of students in that state.
North Carolina has participated in the state-level assessments of NAEP since 1990.
NAEP Overview State-level NAEP: reading, mathematics, science, and writing
Results: national and state level
No individual scores for individual students or schools
Results: are available for subgroups of the population (e.g., race/ethnicity, gender, free/reduced lunch eligibility, etc.)
Reporting components: subject-matter achievement, instructional experiences, and school environment for populations of students
