NAEP State Comparisons Tool: Now With Maps

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) State Comparisons online data tool helps you compare a variety of data: NAEP scores, achievement gaps, school lunch (NSLP) eligibility, and percentiles for your state, the nation, and other states. Now, interactive U.S. maps have been added to represent complex data in a clear, graphical form.
 
These new maps let you see how your selected state compares with other states or the nation in NAEP performance at grades 4 and 8 in public schools. To use the tool, simply follow the steps laid out on each page, and use the Help button if needed. Once you are finished with your comparison, you can save the map to share it with others, or bookmark it and come back to it later.

NAEP is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics within the Institute of Education Sciences.
