The National Assessment Governing Board is an organization based in Washington, DC that oversees the administration of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), also known as the Nation's Report Card. They are responsible for setting the strategic vision and policies for NAEP, as well as conducting research and releasing reports on student performance in various subject areas such as mathematics, reading, civics, science, and U.S. history. The Board's mission is to provide valuable insights into educational access, college and career preparation, and academic achievement through the analysis of student data.
The NAEP High School Transcript Study, released every 10 years, is a significant component of the Board's work, providing information on the courses taken by high school graduates, their grade point averages, and the relationship between course taking and NAEP scores. This study offers important insights into educational trends and helps evaluate the effectiveness of academic programs. The Board collaborates with the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) to conduct the study and disseminate its findings, contributing to the ongoing improvement of education in the United States.
