📝 NAEP Testing (4th Grade)
Best of luck to our 4th-grade students on Thursday, Feb. 26th, as they participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) — also known as The Nation’s Report Card.
NAEP is a congressionally mandated assessment that measures student achievement across the country. It does not provide individual or school scores, but helps compare performance over time statewide and nationally. We are proud of our students representing APS!
