Abstract	This profile is a "biographical sketch" of the nation's students based on information gathered in the 1986 and 1988 National Assessments of Educational Progress (NAEP) as part of their surveys of proficiencies in subject areas. The report is based primarily on data from the 1988 assessment, in which about 79,000 students in grades 4, 8, and 12 answered questions about their personal characteristics, home life, and schoolwork. The 1986 assessment involved about 73,000 students at grades 3, 7, and 11. Of particular note is that minority children compose a steadily increasing proportion of the nation's students, and this trend is likely to continue, with the most rapid growth in Hispanic and Asian populations. Data are provided in table and chart form for student characteristics that include: (1) race and ethnicity; (2) language other than English; (3) high school program; (4) achievement and failure; (5) attendance; (6) part-time employment; and (7) future plans. Aspects of home life that were investigated include parental work, parent-child relationships, and leisure time activities, including television viewing. The school program is examined for different subject areas. Using these data for educational improvement is briefly discussed. Twelve figures and 29 short tables present the profile information. Each profile contains references. (SLD)
