NECAP
Designing 21st Century Universal Classrooms
New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP)
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.
