NAEP Technical DocumentationTarget Population for the 2013 State Assessment

The target population for the 2013 state assessment included all students in public schools in the United States who were enrolled in fourth or eighth grade and, for 13 states, students enrolled in twelfth grade. In addition, students enrolled in fourth and eighth grades attending Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools, Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools, and public schools in Puerto Rico were included. BIE was not designed as a reportable jurisdiction for the 2013 state assessments, but a nationally representative sample of students in BIE schools was selected.
