2024 Student Questionnaires Samples

_{OMB# 1850-0928 v.36}

May 2025

NOTE: The 2026 student survey questionnaires were not available for this submission. The 2026 surveys will be included in either the Amendment #1 (Spring 2025), Amendment #2 (August/September 2025), or some combination of both Amendments. System login screens will be updated in upcoming Amendments to the Clearance Package.

Important changes in how we collect demographic information will be reflected in the 2026 instruments when they are ready for publication and review. In March 2024, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) announced revisions to Statistical Policy Directive No. 15: Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity (SPD 15) and published the revised SPD15 standard in the Federal Register (89 FR 22182). See Part A.7 of this package to see how NCES plans to incorporate these revisions into NAEP 2026. Further, as we were preparing this package for 30D publication, the White House issued an Executive Orders “Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government,” (January 20, 2025) and “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing,” (January 20, 2025). In compliance with these Executive Orders, the materials in this package have been modified. In addition, a full review of all items is being conducted to ensure compliance with the Executive Orders. The revised questionnaires will be included in the next Amendments to this package. No collections of this information will take place before the submission and approval of Amendment #2.

Appendix J1 provides the student survey questionnaires that will be administered in 2024. Grades 4 and 8 Core, Math, and Reading questionnaires were previously approved in 2022 (OMB# 1850-0928 v.28), and any changes to the items from the 2022 administration are reflected in summary tables. Additionally, grade 8 Science and grade 12 Core, Math, and Reading were previously approved in 2019 (OMB# 1850-0928 v.15), and any changes to the items from the 2019 administration are reflected in summary tables. Learning Recovery SQs are available in this document.

Please note, some of the numbers of the items may be missing or out of order in these printed versions. This will be corrected in the platform view.
