The Nation’s Report Card

The Nation’s Report Card, officially known as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), is an ongoing assessment program in the United States that evaluates the academic achievement and progress of students in various subjects, primarily in reading, mathematics, and other core areas. It is a project of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), which is part of the U.S. Department of Education.

The Nation’s Report Card serves as an important and comprehensive measure of student performance across the country. It provides valuable data and information about the state of education in the United States and helps policymakers, educators, and the public assess the effectiveness of the education system.
