The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as The Nation’s Report Card, is the largest continuing, nationally representative measure of student achievement in core subjects in grades 4, 8, and 12. The District of Columbia participates in the NAEP assessment biennially. The assessments follow the frameworks developed by the National Assessment Governing Board, which specify what a student should know and be able to do in a given grade. Since the assessments are administered uniformly across the nation, with the same digital equipment and test booklets, NAEP results serve as a common measure of academic achievement.
