What is the Trial District Urban Assessment (TUDA)?
In 2002, the National Assessment Governing Board, the National Center for Education Statistics, and the Council of Great City Schools collaborated to develop a study to test the feasibility of a district-level NAEP assessment. That year, as part of the main NAEP assessment, NAEP oversampled the student population of five urban districts (Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City) in order to generate district-level NAEP results for those cities.
