National Assessment of Educational Progress: The Nation's Report Card. Trial Urban District Assessment: Reading 2005.

摘要

NAEP is a sample-based survey assessment that provides periodic reports on student academic performance at the national and state levels. The Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA), a special project in NAEP, began assessing performance at the district level in selected large urban districts in 2002 with reading and writing assessments, and continued in 2003 and 2005 with reading and mathematics. Eleven large urban school districts participated in the 2005 NAEP reading assessment. This report provides the 2005 NAEP reading results for the participating districts. The report compares results to public school students performance in the nation and in large central cities, and to results for the previous assessments in 2002 and 2003, where applicable, using a .05 significance level.
