Earlier today we reported that Florida student scores on the National Assessment of Educational Progress — also known as “The Nation’s Report Card” — improved slightly from 2011 scores.
We’ve charted NAEP reports since 1990 to show you how Florida’s scores have changed over time, and how those scores compare to the national average.
We’ve broken out math and reading scores for all students, students who qualify for the school lunch program — a common proxy for poverty — and students with disabilities.
