“The No Child Left Behind Act was signed into law in January 2002 and reauthorizes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA). Under this legislation, the Commissioner of Education Statistics is to conduct national and state NAEP assessments at least every two years in reading and mathematics at grades 4 and 8. These assessments must be conducted in the same year. In addition, national assessments in reading and mathematics in grade 12 are to be conducted at regularly scheduled intervals.” See The Nation’s Report Card
