NAEP Achievement-Level Map

Higher percentages of fourth-graders performed at or above NAEP Proficient in 6 districts compared to large cities nationally 

In comparison to large city schools nationally in 2022,

  • 6 TUDA districts had a higher percentage of public school students performing at or above NAEP Proficient ; and
  • 9 TUDA districts had a lower percentage of public school students performing at or above NAEP Proficient.

The percentage of fourth-grade public school students performing at or above the NAEP Proficient level in reading was 32 percent nationally and 26 percent for the large city average. Across the participating TUDA districts, the percentage of public school fourth-graders performing at or above NAEP Proficient in reading ranged from 5 percent to 40 percent.

NAEP achievement levels are performance standards that describe what students should know and be able to do. Results are reported as percentages of students performing at or above three achievement levels (NAEP Basic , NAEP Proficient, and NAEP Advanced ). Students performing at or above the NAEP Proficient level on NAEP assessments demonstrate solid academic performance and competency over challenging subject matter. It should be noted that the NAEP Proficient achievement level does not represent grade level proficiency as determined by other assessment standards (e.g., state or district assessments). NAEP achievement levels are to be used on a trial basis and should be interpreted and used with caution. Find out more about the NAEP reading achievement levels.

See how the percentage of fourth-grade public school students performing at or above the NAEP Proficient level in reading in each participating TUDA district compares to the nation (public) or the large city average by selecting that district on the map.
