National Assessment of Educational Progress

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a nationwide evaluation in the United States that measures students' knowledge and skills in subjects like math, reading, science, and writing. Often referred to as the "Nation’s Report Card," NAEP provides valuable data on educational progress and performance across various demographic groups. It helps policymakers, educators, and the public understand how well students are learning and identifies areas that need improvement. The assessments are conducted periodically, offering insights into national trends in education over time.
