Jane Addams JH will participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on Thursday, February 19, 2026. NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students know and can do in various subjects. NAEP is different from our state assessments because it is a common measure of achievement across the country. It is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the U.S. Department of Education. NAEP results are released as The Nation’s Report Card, which provides information about student achievement to educators, parents, policymakers, and the public.
If your child is selected to participate in a NAEP assessment, you will receive notification via the U.S. Mail. The assessment takes about 90 minutes for most students, which includes transition time, directions, and completion of survey questions. While the assessment is voluntary, NAEP depends on student participation to help policymakers improve education.
However, if you do not want your child to participate, please notify me in writing by February 12th. We are excited that our school is participating in NAEP. We know that our students will show what our nation’s students know and can do.
