NAEPa federally mandated assessment measuring student performance in various subjects across the United States
What is the "National Assessment of Educational Progress"?
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a program in the United States that measures the academic performance of students in various subjects, such as reading, mathematics, and science. Often referred to as "The Nation's Report Card," it provides data on how students across the country are performing at the elementary and secondary school levels. The assessment is conducted periodically and is used to evaluate trends in education over time. Results from the NAEP help policymakers, educators, and the public understand the strengths and weaknesses of the education system.
