The 2024 Nation’s Report Card will be released in early 2025, instead of fall 2024, to allow time for the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to study if there are any impacts from changing assessment devices. NCES informed states and TUDA districts of these changes in April 2023. Click here for more details.

Understanding NAEP
NAEP data help the public understand student progress over time, across subjects, and throughout the nation.
