The resulting data are presented in terms of the percentage answering correctly for each age group. Data are also presented according to each of the following subpopulations or factors: geographic region; type of school district (rural, urban, etc.); school district size; school district expenditure per student; racial or ethnic group; sex; family income; and language spoken at home. (The 101 items administered to the students are included in the appendix.) (GDC) Aspect of National Assessment (NAEP) dealt with in this document: Procedures (Replication).
