This comprehensive series of assessments in various test formats with varying purposes provides opportunities for districts, schools, teachers, students, and parents to assess student achievement in the areas specified by Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS). Another purpose of the NPEP is to provide accountability to the public and to the Legislature. Test scores from the CRTs, the Writing Assessments, and the HSPE are used to determine Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for every public school and charter school as well as for the eight student populations required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
