The NECAP reading, writing, mathematics and science tests measure students’ academic knowledge and skills relative to Grade Expectations which were developed by teams of teachers from Vermont, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. Grade Expectations represent the knowledge and skills that students should have achieved by the end of the previous school year (reading and math) or at the end of a specific grade span (writing and science). Reading and math are assessed in grades 3-8 and 11, writing is assessed in grades 5, 8 and 11, and science is assessed in grades 4, 8 and 11. The reading, math and writing tests are administered each year in October. The science tests are administered in May.
Students’ NECAP scores are reported at four levels of academic achievement: Proficient with Distinction, Proficient, Partially Proficient and Substantially Below Proficient. Results are reported for the following student groupings: All students, gender, racial/ethnic group, disability status (IEP), free/reduced lunch status (FRL), English language proficiency (LEP), and migrant students.
Both state and school level NECAP reports can be downloaded using the links below. When the district for accountability purposes* contains multiple schools, district level results are also reported. In order to protect individual student’s rights to privacy, results are reported only when a student grouping has more than 10 members.
* Act 114, enacted in July 2004, changed the definition of a local education agency (LEA) for accountability purposes from the supervisory union/district to town or union school district.
