About the Tests

In 2007-2008 Rhode Island used the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math, in grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing, and in grades 4, 8 and 11 in science.
The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Rhode Island.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
