State Test Score Trends through 2008-09, Part 1: Rising Scores on State Tests and NAEP. Massachusetts
Center on Education Policy
This paper profiles Massachusetts' test score trends through 2008-09. Between 2005 and 2009, the percentages of students reaching the proficient level on the state test and the basic level on NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) increased in grade 4 reading and math and grade 8 math. Average annual gains were larger on the state test than on NAEP for all three grade/subject combinations with comparable data. Massachusetts did not provide average (mean) score data. (Contains 1 footnote.) [For the main report, "State Test Score Trends through 2008-09, Part 1: Rising Scores on State Tests and NAEP", see ED513962.]
