Source: National Assessment of Educational Progress, 2000, 2003.
Next Data Available: February 2008
Data Validated By: NCES.
Limitations: The small sample (for the subpopulation of American Indian and Alaska Native students) means there is a high degree of standard error surrounding the estimates and limits data collection and possibilities for comparison to other populations. These estimates will vary greatly until a larger population is surveyed.
Explanation: NCES oversampled American Indian and Alaska Native students in the 2005 NAEP assessments in reading and mathematics to increase the reliability of the data.
