How many students participated?
The NAEP assessments are administered to samples of students rather than testing the entire national, state, or district populations. Each assessment, based on its design, samples different numbers of students. See more information about the sample sizes and target populations for the recent NAEP assessments: • mathematics at the national and state levels and at the district level • reading at the national and state levels and at the district level • writing at the national, state, and district levels See the number of schools and students that participated in the recent NAEP assessments: • mathematics at the national, state, and district levels • reading at the national, state, and district levels • writing at the national and state and district levels Find out more about who took each of the following recently administered assessments: • economics • civics • mathematics • reading • science • U.S.

The NAEP 2005 science assessment was conducted nationally at grades 4, 8, and 12 and at the state level at grades 4 and 8. In 2005, nationally representative samples of more than 147,000 fourth-grade, 143,000 eighth-grade, and 13,000 twelfth-grade students participated in the assessment. In addition, 10 urban school districts participated in the Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) in science at grades 4 and 8. The District of Columbia, traditionally included in state-level NAEP reports, also participated. TUDA, a special project in NAEP, began assessing performance in selected districts in 2002 with the reading and writing assessments and continued in 2003 and 2005 with the reading, mathematics, and science assessments. The results for these districts, which will be available in the summer, are for public school students only. Find out more about who took the science assessment. Information about state samples is available in the State Profiles tool.
