NAEP expansion is great news
But there is a catch: governors have to opt in to get state level data
The National Assessment Governing Board announced that it will start publishing National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) state-level data on 12th-grade math and reading and eighth-grade science, and will add an eighth- and 12th-grade civics exam.
But there is a catch: governors have to opt in to get the state level data.
We should celebrate this NAEP expansion, given that education is usually 1/3 of state/ city expenses but occupies a small part of news coverage. I explain this on my latest article for City Journal Substack:
