NAEP 2013 affirms the reform efforts in DC, TN, IN and Florida.
The National Center for Education Statistics has released the 2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) for 4th and 8th grade Reading and Math. “The Nation’s Report Card” tests random representative samples of students in all 50 states, serving as the only true “apples to apples” source of K-12 data.
A quick calculation of the net score gains (2013 scores minus 2011 scores) on all four tests reveals remarkable gains in the District of Columbia and Tennessee. Gains in DC and TN quadrupled those of the national average. After years of flat scores, Indiana nearly tripled the national average. Florida more than doubled the national average for gains.
