Facts from NIES
The 2007 National Indian Education Study (NIES) was conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics on behalf of OIE. Part I focuses on the performance of AI/AN 4th- and 8th-graders on the 2007 National Assessment of Educational Progress in reading and math. Part II presents information about the educational, home, and community experiences of the students represented in Part I.
