The report for each participating state describes mathematics performance for representative samples of fourth and/or eighth graders in public and/or nonpublic schools in the state and compares the results for various groups of students within these populations -- for example, those who have certain demographic characteristics or who responded to a specific background question in a particular way. (Results for nonpublic-school students are provided only if a state met guidelines for minimum participation rates.) Trend results are provided for those states that also participated in the 1990 and/or 1992 mathematics assessments.
