Only one state outperformed Vermont in eighth-grade math and only two states outperformed Vermont in fourth grade math on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).
Vermont has shown steady gains on the NAEP in both fourth and eighth grade math since 2003. Fifty-one percent of Vermont grade four students achieved the rating of “at or above proficient” compared to 38 percent of fourth-graders nationally. Forty-three percent of Vermont grade eight students achieved the rating of “at or above Proficient” compared to 33 percent of eighth-graders nationally. (VT DOE Fall 2009)
