What is NAEP?

The Nation’s Report Card is a resource—a common measure of student achievement—because it offers a window into the state of our K-12 education system and what our children are learning. When students, their parents, teachers, and principals participate in the Nation’s Report Card—the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America's students know and can do in various subject areas—they are helping to inform decisions about how to improve the education system in our country.
