Percentages of Students in the Nation Identified, Excluded, and Assessed in Mathematics

NAEP has always endeavored to assess all students selected as a part of its sampling process, including students who are classified by their schools as students with disabilities (SD) and/or as English-language learners (ELL) or limited English proficient (LEP). (LEP students are sometimes called English language learners). The decision to exclude any of these students is made by school personnel. School personnel are encouraged to use inclusion criteria provided by NAEP and may discuss their inclusion decisions with NAEP field staff. Some students may participate with testing accommodations.

— Not available. Data were not collected at grade 12 in 2003.
† Not applicable. Results from previous mathematics assessments at grade 12 are not reported with the results from 2005 because of a change in the framework.
# The estimate rounds to zero.
NOTE: SD = students with disabilities. ELL = English language learners. Students identified as both SD and ELL were counted only once under the combined SD and/or ELL category, but were counted separately under the SD and ELL categories. Prior to 2005, students were identified as either ELL or non-ELL; in 2005, students were identified as ELL, non-ELL, or formerly ELL. NAEP sample sizes have increased in 2003 and 2005 compared to previous years. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
