NATIONAL ASSESSMENT OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS
• This table shows how students are doing according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), a different test that is taken nationally and allows us to compare students in DC with students in each state. One thing to remember in comparing DC to other states, is that we are not a state but rather an urban district, so comparisons to states may be misleading.
