  • Reports performance by student groups, e.g., by gender, race/ethnicity, eligibility for Free/Reduced-Price Lunch, English language learners (ELL), and participation in exceptional student education programs.
  • Includes data from the 50 states, the District of Columbia Public Schools, the Department of Defense Education Activity schools, and selected urban districts.
  • Was designed as a survey assessment in 1969 to produce national results.
  • Was expanded to produce state-level results in 1990. Results for selected large urban school districts have been available since 2002.
  • Assessments are administered, with the help of contractors, by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
