NAEP 2019-2020 Facts for Districts
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), first administered in 1969, is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what the nation's students know and can do in various subjects such as civics, geography, mathematics, reading, science, U.S. history, and writing. The results of NAEP are released as The Nation's Report Card. District staff play an essential role in NAEP. Superintendents and district staff can work closely with principals to explain the importance of the assessment to teachers and participating students. When students take part in the assessment and give their best effort, NAEP results provide the most accurate measure possible of student achievement across the country. These brief report shows which subjects and student groups will be assessed during the 2019-2020 school year and provides important information about how NAEP is administered.
