The Governing Board

The National Assessment Governing Board sets policy for the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Learn more about our work.

About NAEP

The National Assessment of Educational Progress — known as The Nation’s Report Card — is the largest continuing, nationally representative evaluation of education in the United States.

NAEP Frameworks

NAEP frameworks provide the blueprint for the content and design of each assessment. Learn how NAEP assessments are built.

NAEP Results

The Nation’s Report Card informs the public about what U.S. students know and can do in a variety of subject areas.

NAEP Achievement Levels

An important role of the Board is setting achievement levels for NAEP assessments. Discover more about this process and what the achievement levels mean when it comes to measuring student achievement.
