Percentages of Students in States and Jurisdictions 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.

NOTE: Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Prior to 2005, students were identified as either English language learners (ELL) or non-ELL; in 2005, students were identified as ELL, non-ELL, or formerly ELL.
