Re: NAEP results (#2242 by delbows)

Idaho's "proficient" counts students whose typical classroom performance is C- or higher. NAEP's "Proficient" counts students whose classroom performance is typically B+ or higher. Thus accounting for the "difference of opinion"!

Two short papers published in a peer-reviewed online journal will answer any questions you have about this matter....

Using NAEP to confirm state testing results in the No Child Left Behind Act. (2007). Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 12(5). Available online: http://www.pareonline.net/getvn.asp?v=12&n=5

Please don't use NAEP scores to rank order the 50 states. (2005). Practical Assessment, Research & Evaluation, 10(9). Available online: http://pareonline.net/getvn.asp?v=10&n=9
