Why use the NECAP to assess Maine’s math standards?

RSU 2 just shared their NAEP data with parents. The results were shocking. Approximately 65% of students are not proficient in math or reading according to their NAEP results. Their NAEP results looked nothing like their NECAP results. Their NECAP results told many more parents their their children were proficient. Parents need to know that the bar for proficiency on the NECAP is very low.

If a parent truly wants to know their child's profeciency, do they need to hire someone to privately test them?
