Nelson Mandela 4th Grade Scholars compared to Nebraska NAEP

These Spalding Scholars significantly outperformed the average for Nebraska NAEP Reading Percentages in Summer 2022.

While states have their own unique assessments with different content standards, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), provides a “common yardstick” to measure what students across the nation know and can do. NAEP provides useful information about student academic achievement at the national and state level.1

The purpose of this study is to compare the Nelson Mandela 4th Grade Scholars (Spalding School) to Nebraska NAEP Reading Percentages from Summer 2022.
