Overview
The National Assessment of Educational Progress is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what America’s students know and can do in various subject areas. Beginning in 2017, NAEP will be administered for the first time across the nation through an online platform using NAEP technology. As NAEP transitions from paper and pencil to online test administrations, the effects of technology on assessments will be analyzed, and technical studies and reports will be provided to help explain the trend over time. NAEP will continue to remain an important common metric for all states and selected urban districts. Results are reported on the Nation's Report Card website.
