State Results for the NAEP 2000 Mathematics Assessment

Note on accommodations and the exclusion of
special-needs students:

The results presented here are based on test administration procedures that did not permit accommodations for special-needs students. A second set of results is available that includes the performance of special-needs students who were permitted accommodations.

In the sample that did not permit accommodations, special-needs students may have been excluded if their schools determined that they could not be assessed meaningfully without accommodations. In examining state and other jurisdiction results, it should be noted that the percentage of excluded students varies across states and across years.

See state and other jurisdiction exclusion rates at grade 4 or grade 8 in samples that did not permit accommodations.

The NAEP 2000 mathematics assessment was administered to representative samples of fourth- and eighth-graders in participating states and other jurisdictions. NAEP began state-by-state assessments in 1990 with eighth-graders and in 1992 with fourth-graders.

In 2000, 46 states and other jurisdictions at grade 4, and 44 at grade 8, participated in the mathematics assessment and met student and school participation criteria for reporting results. Many of these also participated in earlier NAEP mathematics state-by-state assessments, allowing for the reporting of trends in student performance
