1. What is NAEP?

• “NAEP” stands for the National Assessment of Educational Progress. 

   

• NAEP is the largest nationally representative assessment of what America’s students know and can do. 

   

• Tests are given to assess student achievement in major subject areas across the nation at grades 4, 8, and 12.  

   

• NAEP results are released as “The Nation’s Report Card.” 

 

1. What this means for our school

• Our school has been selected to participate because of its location and demographics. 

• <insert school> is one of only about <insert number> high schools in <insert state> selected to participate in NAEP this school year.  

• Approximately 100 grade 12 students from our school have been randomly selected by NAEP to participate. 

 

1. What to expect

• NAEP testing at our school will take place on <insert date> and will take about 90 minutes. 

• We will call you out of class to report to the testing room. 

• You will be given a hall pass telling you where to report. 

 

1. What to expect (continued)

• Students will take a civics, geography, or U.S. history test. 

• Questions are multiple-choice and short answer. 

• The assessment also includes questions about how your teachers teach, your educational experiences, and other informational questions. 

 

1. What to expect (continued)

• There is no need to study or prepare for NAEP. 

• You should try your best to answer each question. NAEP just wants to know how much grade 12 students know about the subject area.

• • –Demographic characteristics of the school; 

  • –What teachers teach and their course requirements; and 

  • –How teachers are trained about new content and teaching approaches. 

• This information, along with the student assessment, gives a broad picture of how students are taught across the nation.
