ETS, 2012, GRADE 12

Summary of the data and procedures used to evaluate Florida students’ performance in high school and their first year of college, relative to scores on the NAEP 12th grade reading and mathematics assessments, along with a summary of results.

This document describes the data and procedures used to evaluate Florida students’ performance in high school and their first year of college, relative to scores on the NAEP 12th grade reading and mathematics assessments, as well as other tests. Results of the analyses are also presented. The 2009 12th grade NAEP reading and mathematics assessments included a first-time pilot state assessment for 11 states; Florida was one of the participants. The Florida Department of Education maintains a longitudinal data base (K-20 Education Data Warehouse) that includes college entrance and placement test scores and first-year college performance data for those students who attended public colleges in the state of Florida during the 2009-2010 academic year. This Florida longitudinal data is used to analyze postsecondary outcomes for many of the students who also participated in 12th grade NAEP.
