Three Laveen schools participate in national assessment

Three of our schools were selected to participate in the National Assessment of Educational Pro-

gress (NAEP) this year.

Desert Meadows administered this assessment to their fourth graders recently. Both Cheatham

and Vista will be participating in NAEP testing in the next few weeks.

NAEP is the largest continuing and nationally representative assessment of what our nation’s stu-

dents know and can do in core subjects. Results are used to develop ways to improve education

throughout the United States.
