The Nation's Report Card with Sample Tests

The Commissioner of Education Statistics, who heads the National Center for Education Statistics in the U.S. Department of Education, is responsible by law for carrying out the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) project which is also known as "the Nation's Report Card." NEAP, the only nationally representative and continuing assessment (since 1969) of what America's students know and can do in various subject areas, conducts assessments in reading, mathematics, science, writing, U.S. history, civics, geography, and the arts.
