The 1997 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Arts assessment measured students' literacy in the arts through their knowledge and skill in creating, performing, and responding to challenging, innovative test exercises. This report provides a variety of findings from that assessment. Readers should note that this report is intended to be used with a CD-ROM (NCES 1999-485) that contains the complete text of the report, as well as many more examples of student responses to assessment exercises.
