Abstract	This report provides selected results from the 2002 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) for Massachusetts' public-school students at grades 4 and 8. Since 1992, reading has been assessed in four different years at the state level (at grade 4 in 1992 and 1994, and at both grades 4 and 8 in 1998 and 2002). Massachusetts participated in all of these assessments at grades 4 and 8 and met the criteria for reporting public-school results for both grades. Key findings for grade 4 are: the average scale score for students in Massachusetts was 234, which was higher than that of 1992 (226) and was higher than that in 1998 (223); students' scale scores in Massachusetts were higher than those in 47 jurisdictions; and the percentage of students in Massachusetts who performed at or above the "Proficient" level was 47%, which was greater than that in 1992 (36%) and was greater than that in 1998 (35%). Key findings for grade 8 are: the average scale score for students in Massachusetts was 271, which was not found to differ significantly from that in 1998 (269); students' scale scores in Massachusetts were higher than those in 32 jurisdictions and the difference was not found to be significant for 14 jurisdictions; and the percentage of students in Massachusetts who performed at or above the "Proficient" level was 39%, which was not found to differ significantly from that in 1998 (38%). After an introduction, the report presents overall results, comparisons between states, reading performance by demographic characteristics, and it discusses moving toward a more inclusive NAEP, and where to find more information.
