The National Assessment of Educational Progress, 2008 (NAEP 2008), 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 2008 (https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/) is a cross-sectional survey that assesses what America's students know and can do in arts. The study was conducted using computer-based assessment of students. Students in grade 8 were sampled. Key statistics produced from NAEP 2008 are results on subject-matter achievement, instructional experiences, and school environment for populations of students (e.g., all eighth-graders) and groups within those populations (e.g., female students, Hispanic students).
