Student Assessment
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has frequently been called the "Nations Report Card." It is the only national assessment of what America’s students know and can do in various subject areas.
As a result of the "No Child Left Behind" legislation, all states are required to participate in NAEP. Beginning with the 2002-2003 school year, all schools in Illinois that are part of the sample drawn by the National Center for Education Statistics shall administer the biennial State academic assessments of 4th and 8th grade reading and mathematics under NAEP.
Our goal is to partner with those schools in Illinois that are selected to participate in NAEP. We will provide assistance in making connections between the NAEP Frameworks and the Illinois Learning Standards.
NAEP Demonstration sample questions booklets for reading and mathematics assessments are available for grades 4, 8 and 12 at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/about/booklets.asp. These booklets contain a description of each assessment, assessment directions, background questionnaires, and sample questions.
