These online Highlights present overviews of grade 12 results from the NAEP 2019 mathematics report and the 2019 reading report. Highlighted results include key findings at the national level only. Results are presented in terms of average scale scores and percentages of students performing at the three NAEP achievement levels:
NAEP Basic,
NAEP Proficient, and
NAEP Advanced. Highlighted results include performance data for demographic student groups, five selected percentiles, and NAEP survey questionnaires.
The 2019 average score was lower for reading and not significantly different for mathematics compared to average scores for these subjects in 2015. Over the long term, the national average score for reading was lower compared to the first assessment year (1992), whereas over the long term, the 2019 mathematics score was not significantly different from the score in 2005.
Highlighted results include responses of students and schools to survey questionnaires designed to collect information about students' educational experiences and opportunities to learn both inside and outside of the classroom and twelfth-graders' postsecondary plans.
Full results for each subject are available in the
2019 NAEP Mathematics Report Card and the
2019 NAEP Reading Report Card.
