NAEP - Nation's Report Card Home. No good news from the Nation’s Report Card on Science. The 2009 National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) Science scores were released last week, and NSTA was fortunate to have a number of journalists calling and asking our thoughts about the results. We sent a statement that began: The National Science Teachers Association is concerned with the low student scores in science reflected in the 2009 National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP). Far too many of the students tested fell below the proficiency level. This is completely unacceptable. Our nation can not afford to have a scientifically illiterate workforce. We were not the only ones to react this way to the NAEP results. After talking about U.S students and international scores, George Will states: “Annual federal funding of research in mathematics, engineering and the physical sciences is equal to the increase in America’s health-care costs every nine weeks.”
