Who Took the NAEP Mathematics Assessment?

The NAEP 2007 mathematics assessment was conducted throughout the nation and states at grades 4 and 8. Approximately 197,000 grade 4 students and 153,000 grade 8 students took the assessment.

The NAEP program does not, and is not designed to, report on the performance of individual students. Instead, groups of the student population from representative national samples are assessed. For example, NAEP reports results for male and female students, Black students and White students, and students in different regions of the country. Samples are selected using a complex sampling design.
