Definitions: 8th grade public school students’ sciences achievement levels, as measured and defined by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). For a more detailed description of achievement levels see: http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/Science/achieveall.asp. Public schools include charter schools and exclude Bureau of Indian Education schools and Department of Defense Education Activity schools. More...

Data Source: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Available online at http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard.

Footnotes: Updated January 2011.
S – NAEP reporting standards not met. N.A. – Data not available.
A 95 percent confidence interval for each estimate can be found at 8th grade science achievement levels.

Note: The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands are not included in maps and rankings because they are not states and therefore comparisons on many indicators of child well being are not meaningful.
