What is NAEP?
Established by Congress in 1969, NAEP is the largest continuing, nationally representative measure of student achievement in core subjects at grades 4, 8, and 12. NAEP results, the Nation’s Report Card, inform the public about student achievement results, reveal trends over time, and compare performance among states, 21 urban school districts, and student demographic groups. NAEP is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics.
