Abstract:
Since 2005, the National Indian Education Study (NIES) has provided educators, policymakers, and the public with information about the educational experiences and the academic performance of fourth- and eighth-grade American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) students in the United States.
Participation in NIES 2015
AI/AN students make up about 1 percent of students in elementary and secondary schools nationally (see table A-3 on page 26). Students were identified as AI/AN based on school records and were sampled along with other students participating in the NAEP 2015 subject-area assessments.
To obtain large enough samples to report reliable results for AI/AN students, schools with higher proportions of AI/AN students in selected states were “oversampled.” That is, the AI/AN students were selected for the NAEP assessments at a higher rate than they would be otherwise. All Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) schools having grades 4 and/or 8 were also selected.
