Did you know the next round of NAEP, The Nation's Report Card, will include a powerful new tool? The new 🌟 Percentile Profiles 🌟feature provides a deeper understanding of student performance by comparing results across different groups. Here's how it works: NAEP asked 8th graders, "How many days did you miss school last month?" Nationally, 33% of students reported being absent for three or more days. But with Percentile Profiles, we can dig deeper and uncover that: 🔹46% of lower-performing students missed three or more days. 🔹21% of higher-performing students missed three or more days. This suggests that lower-performing students are more likely to miss school. We need to address attendance issues to support student success. The new Percentile Profiles tool helps unveil critical insights, giving educators and policymakers the tools to create meaningful change. 👉 Read this article by Robert Finnegan (ETS), Ebony Walton (NCES), and David J.
