The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as the Nation's Report Card, is the most comprehensive measure of student learning, and is widely considered the gold standard for empirically measuring trends in student achievement outcomes in the United States. The NAEP data for 2018, which were released on April 23, 2020, offer an assessment of the performance of a nationally representative group of 42,700 eighth-graders from about 780 schools in civics, geography, and U.S. history in 2018. NAEP results garner significant attention when new scores are released. Educational policymakers frequently cite NAEP findings in their recommendations for K-12 educational reforms and national, state, and district funding allocations. The latest scores offer an opportunity for social studies educators to advocate for the importance of social studies instruction. In this article, the author explores these data, which offer useful information about the educational experiences of students in U.S. schools.
