The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Rhode Island.
The different student groups are identified by the Rhode Island Department of Education. If there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group, the state doesn't report data for that group.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
