| **Description:**          | This publication presents the results of the NAEP 1998 civics assessment for the nation.  The results are based on assessing a sample of students who are statistically representative of the entire nation. For this subject, in contrast to the other major subject reports presented this year in reading and writing, there were no additional state level results.  Students' performance on the national assessment is described in terms of their average civics score on a 0- to 300 scale and in terms of the percentage of students attaining each of the three achievement levels:  Basic, Proficient, and Advanced |
