2007 National Assessment of Educational Progress Results Highlight Florida's Successes
Governor Charlie Crist and Education Commissioner Jeanine Blomberg recently announced Florida's results of the 2007 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Florida again surpassed the national average in both fourth grade reading and mathematics and, for the first time, matched the national average for eighth grade reading. Florida was one of only four states with significant increases in both fourth and eighth grade reading since 2005. Minority students and students with disabilities also met or exceeded the performance of students nationally.
