NAEP Testing

Round Top Elementary has been selected to represent schools across the nation by participating in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). First administered in 1969, NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students know and can do in various subject areas. It is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the U.S. Department of Education. NAEP is different from state assessments because it provides a common measure of student achievement across the country.

In our school, the NAEP assessment will be given in February to a randomly selected group of 4th grade students.   If your child does not receive a letter by January 6th, they will not participate in NAEP testing.  Students who have been selected to participate will receive a "letter of parent notification," which will include more detailed information.

We are excited that our school will be participating in NAEP. We know that Round Top Elementary's students will help us show what our nation’s students know and can do!
