NAEP Technical DocumentationSchool Sample Sizes for the 2017 State Assessment

The following table lists the number of sampled schools taken from the public school sampling frame constructed from the Common Core of Data (CCD) and the new-school sampling frame, for both fourth and eighth grades, by participating jurisdiction. The school counts shown are at the time of sampling. In the table, the first column, Jurisdiction, is either the “state name” if the state does not have a Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) district (e.g., Alaska) or the “state name + TUDA district name” (e.g., California-Fresno) and “state name + non-TUDA part” (e.g., California-Balance).

After school sampling, some schools in TUDA districts were discovered to be charter schools that were the responsibility of the state and not the individual TUDA district. These schools were reclassified from TUDA to “balance of the state”.
