NAEP started collecting data by U.S. census regions in 2003, and therefore no trend data can be reported for the 2002 writing assessment. To see more information about the states contained in each region, see NAEP reporting groups.

To read more about achievement levels and how they are set, see Reporting the Assessment—Scale Scores and Achievement Levels.
