Do you have questions about what the nation's students know and can do?

With the NAEP Data Explorer (NDE) you can create statistical tables, charts, and maps to help you find answers. Explore the results of decades of assessment of students' academic performance, as well as information about factors that may be related to their learning.

For help using NDE, view the tutorial, visit the Quick Reference Guide (609K PDF) or use the NDE help button available at the top of every page.
