This report provides selected results from the 2002 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) for Florida'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). Florida 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 Florida was 214, which was higher than that of 1992 (208) and was higher than that in 1998 (206); students' scale scores in Florida were higher than those in 11 jurisdictions, lower than those in 29 jurisdictions, and the difference was not found to be significant for 7 jurisdictions; and the percentage of students in Florida who performed at or above the "Proficient" level was 27%, which was greater than that in 1992 (21%) and was greater than that in 1998 (22%). Key findings for grade 8 are: the average scale score for students in Florida was 261, which was higher than that in 1998 (255); students' scale scores in Florida were higher than those in 12 jurisdictions, lower than those in 20 jurisdictions, and the difference was not found to be significant for 14 jurisdictions; and the percentage of students in Florida who performed at or above the "Proficient" level was 29%, which was greater than that in 1998 (23%). 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.
