This report provides selected results from the 2002 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) for Arizona's public-school students at grades 4 and 8. Since 1992, reading has been assessed in four different years at the state level (at grade 4 in 1992 and 1994, and at both grades 4 and 8 in 1998 and 2002). Arizona participated in all of these assessments at grades 4 and 8 and met the criteria for reporting public-school results for both grades. Key findings for grade 4 are: the average scale score for students in Arizona was 205, which was lower than that of 1992 (209) and did not differ significantly from that in 1998 (206); students' scale scores in Arizona were higher than those in 3 jurisdictions, lower than those in 37 jurisdictions, and the difference was not found to be significant for 7 jurisdictions; and the percentage of students in Arizona who performed at or above the "Proficient" level was 22%, which was not found to differ significantly from that in 1992 (21%) nor from that in 1998 (22%). Key findings for grade 8 are: the average scale score for students in Arizona was 257, which was not found to differ significantly from that in 1998 (260); students' scale scores in Arizona were higher than those in 8 jurisdictions, lower than those in 31 jurisdictions, and the difference was not found to be significant for 7 jurisdictions; and the percentage of students in Arizona who performed at or above the "Proficient" level was 23%, which was not found to differ significantly from that in 1998 (27%). After an introduction, the report presents overall results, comparisons between states, reading performance by demographic characteristics, and it discusses moving toward a more inclusive NAEP, and where to find more information.
