The Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) was initiated in 2002 as a study to determine the feasibility of including urban districts as a regular component of NAEP. It looks specifically at performance results of large urban school districts in reading, mathematics, science, and writing. For the most recent math and reading assessment in 2007, the TUDA cities were New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, San Diego, Charlotte, Cleveland, Boston, Austin, Washington, DC, and Atlanta. In 2008, the National Assessment Governing Board approved expanding TUDA to 18 cities or urban districts that now include Baltimore City; Detroit; Fresno, Calif.; Louisville, Ky. (Jefferson County); Miami (Dade County); Milwaukee; and Philadelphia.
