What is the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), and what is its purpose?
NAEP tests are administered to a sample of students in each state from a variety of backgrounds to get an overall picture of a state’s progress. Beginning with the 2002-2003 school year, the Department of Education will pay for your state to participate in the NAEP reading and math assessments for fourth and eighth grade students every two years. That way you’ll know how your state is comparing with others.
