The National Assessment of Educational Progress, 2005 (NAEP 2005), is a study that is part of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) program; program data is available since 1990 at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/naepdata/. NAEP 2005 (https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/) is a cross-sectional survey that assesses what America's students know and can do in various subject areas. The study was conducted using computer-based assessment of students. Students in grade 4, 8, and 12 were sampled. NAEP 2005 assessments consist of national and state assessments in mathematics, reading, and science. The study's response rate was between 84 and 99 percent. Key statistics produced from NAEP 2005 are results on subject-matter achievement, instructional experiences, and school environment for populations of students (e.g., all fourth-graders) and groups within those populations (e.g., female students, Hispanic students).
