NAEP is an assessment administered at grades 4, 8, and 12 that reports academic achievement of our Nation’s students and allows comparison within a state by subgroup, across states and regions of the country, and with the nation as a whole.
NAEP is the nation’s only ongoing survey of what students know and can do in various subject areas (reading, mathematics, writing, and science at the state and national levels; U.S. history, geography, civics, economics, world history, foreign language, and the arts at the national level).
NAEP was designed as a survey assessment in 1969
to produce national results.
NAEP was expanded to produce state level results in 1990. Results for
selected large urban school districts have been available since 2002.
NAEP's two major goals are to measure student achievement
and to report changes in performance over time.
NAEP reports performance by subgroups of students, e.g.,
by gender, racial/ethnic group, English Language Learners
(ELL), and participation in exceptional education programs.
NAEP assessments are implemented by the National Center
for Education Statistics (NCES) with the help of contractors.
NAEP does NOT provide scores at the school
or individual student levels.
The NAEP contact for the state
of Florida is Michele Sonnenfeld. She can be contacted by e-mail at
or by telephone at (850) 245-0513.
