– Not available. New Hampshire was not included in the study because the state did not use the same assessment for all students in grade 8 for reading and mathematics. Puerto Rico was not included in the reading analysis because the NAEP reading assessment was not administered in the jurisdiction. States that did not require all eligible students to take a general grade 8 reading or mathematics assessment were not included in the analysis.
