National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB) is the independent, nonpartisan federal board that sets policy for NAEP, commonly known as The Nation's Report Card.
The Long-Term Trend Assessment (LTT) has measured student learning since the 1970s.
How are 9- and 13-year-olds doing in math and reading?
Are today’s students reading for fun more or less than before?
Are more students taking algebra than earlier generations?
“The share of 9- and 13-year-olds who say they talk about the things they’re learning in school with their family nearly every day is low.
Only one in five 13-yr-olds report having these regular conversations.”
How have 13-year-olds’ math and reading scores changed since the the start of LTT?
⬆️In math, average achievement is higher than 1978
🟰 In reading, average scores are not statistically different from 1971

Last Friday our Board voted to offer state-level results in 12th grade math and reading. Inaugural Governing Board chair, Chester E. Finn Jr., encouraged “business leaders, civil rights groups, and others” to “press their state leaders to sign up ASAP.” fordhaminstitute.org/nationa…
