How Results Are ReportedSubject-matter achievement is reported in two ways--scale scores and achievement levels--so that student performance can be more easily understood. Because NAEP scales are developed independently for each subject, scale score and achievement level results cannot be compared across subjects. However, these reporting metrics greatly facilitate performance comparisons within a subject from year to year and from one group of students to another in the same grade. After the assessment, results are reported to the public in a number of forms. Results from individual states are reported only if minimum participation requirements are met. Our state profiles allow users to access relevant information pertaining to their state assessment and assessment results.
