​​​​​​​NAEP Technical DocumentationWeighted Student Response and Exclusion Rates for the 2022 State Reading Assessment

The following table presents weighted student response and exclusion rates, by participating jurisdiction, for the fourth- and eighth-grade public school state assessment samples. States with Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) districts are shown in multiple rows: for the TUDA district(s) and for the state as a whole (the TUDA district[s] plus the rest of the state).

Separate exclusion rates are provided for students with disabilities (SD) and English learners (EL).

A weighted student response rate indicates the percentage of the student population that is directly represented by the assessed students from within participating schools. A weighted exclusion rate indicates the percentage of students in the population that would be excluded from the assessment.
