NAEP 2024 Mathematics: Grades 4 & 8
National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)
In 2024, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) administered the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) mathematics assessment to representative samples of fourth- and eighth-grade students in the nation, states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Department of Defense schools, and 26 participating large urban districts. The assessments measured students' knowledge and skills in mathematics and their ability to solve problems in mathematical and real-world contexts. Students also answered survey questions about their opportunities to learn about and engage in mathematics inside and outside of school. This infographic provides a summary of the results. Key findings include: (1) the average score at fourth grade was 2 points higher compared to 2022 and 3 points lower compared to the pre-pandemic score in 2019; (2) the average score at eighth grade did not significantly change with differences in performance between higher- and lower-performers.
