National participation

Sampling procedures for the National Indian Education Study (NIES) were designed to produce information representative of the target population of all fourth- and eighth-grade American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) students in the United States attending public, Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), Department of Defense, and private schools. The sample selection for NIES took place in conjunction with the sampling activities for the 2011 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) assessments at grades 4 and 8.

The samples of AI/AN students participating in the 2011 NAEP reading and mathematics assessments, upon which the student performance results are based, represent augmentations of the sample of AI/AN students who would usually be selected to participate in NAEP. This allows more detailed reporting of performance for this group. Find out more about the NIES sampling and weighting procedures.
