Thereis also a DoDEA virtual high school, that students can enroll in to take supplemental classes, summer classes, or classes during transitions when students relocate.  \nGovernance  \nDoDEA schools are federally operated and funded by the U.S. Department of Defense. There are three geographic regions, each of which has its own Center for Instructional Leadership.  \nStandards and Curriculum  \nDoDEA uses its own College and Career Ready standards (CCRS) for grades K-12. It has standards in English Language Arts (ELA), Math, Science, Social Studies, and World Languages.  \nAssessment  \nDoDEA students take CCRS summative assessments in math in grades 3-8, Algebra 1 and 2, and Geometry in high school, and ELA in grades 3-8 and 10. There are required interim and formative assessments in math and ELA.  \nKey Stats  \nEnrollment  \n~66,000 students  \nPersonnel  \n~8,000 teachers  \nSchools/Districts   \n8 districts  \n160 schools  \nStudent Race/Ethnicity  \nWhite: 42%  \nHispanic/Latinx: 25%  \nBlack/African American: 24% Asian American, Pacific Islander: 8%  \nStudent Socio-economic Background   \nFree and Reduced-Price Lunch: 28%  \nStudents in Special Education   \nAmericas: 24%  \nEurope: 12%  \nPacific: 12%  \nVisit [https://www.dodea.edu](https://www.dodea.edu for more information)[ for more information](https://www.dodea.edu for more information).  \nNCEE Case Studies: DoDEA 1  \nIntroduction  \nEvery few years, the U.S. Department of Education releases new findings from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP, also known as the Nation’s Report Card), providing the latest snapshot of American elementary, middle, and highschool students’ proficiency in reading, mathematics, science, and other subjects. When it comes to the highest-performing state school systems, there tend to be few surprises: children from Massachusetts, New Jersey, Connecticut, Minnesota, anda handful of other relatively affluent states almost always post the highest NAEP scores.  \nIn recent years, one of the top performers on the NAEP hasn’t been a state school system at all, but rather the Department of Defense  \nEducation Activity (DoDEA), which serves students whose families live on military bases in the United States and overseas. A longtime top performer in reading, DoDEA has also become a top performer in math over the past decade.  \nInfact, DoDEA outscored every state on the 2022 NAEP at both of the grade levels (4th and 8th grade) and in both of the subjects (reading and math) assessed that year. Further, it did so by wide margins; it showed the most progress in closing longstanding achievement gaps between White students and their Black and Hispanic classmates; and it was the only school system to see its scores hold steady, and even rise somewhat, during the COVID-19 pandemic.  \n2022 NAEP 8th Grade Reading Average Scale Scores & Score  \n|  | Average\u003Cbr>Male vs\u003Cbr>White vs | Scores\u003Cbr>Female\u003Cbr>Asian |  |  |  |  | U.S. 2\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>8 p | 59\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>t |  |  | DoDEA | 282 |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 13 pt |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 14 pt |  |  |  |\n|  | Black vs\u003Cbr>Hispanic | White\u003Cbr>vs White |  |  |  |  |  | t | |  |  | 1 pt\u003Cbr>t\u003Cbr>5 pt |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 24 pt |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 15 p |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | 17 p |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n\n180 190 200 210 220 230 240 250 260 270 ","cbCaitPbgxnGdyp7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitPbgxnGdyp7","pdf",304879,26,"English","# System at a Glance\n## Structure of schools\n## Governance\n## Standards and Curriculum\n## Assessment\n## Key Stats\n# Introduction\n## DoDEA’s NAEP performance\n# Gaps and Score Results","[{\"question\":\"What grade levels does DoDEA serve and how does its virtual high school work?\",\"answer\":\"DoDEA offers pre-K through grade 12 and also operates a DoDEA virtual high school for supplemental classes, summer courses, or transition periods when students relocate.\"},{\"question\":\"How does DoDEA structure governance and regional leadership?\",\"answer\":\"DoDEA schools are federally operated and funded by the U.S. Department of Defense, organized into three geographic regions, each with a Center for Instructional Leadership.\"},{\"question\":\"Which NAEP 2022 results are highlighted for DoDEA and what does the document say about progress?\",\"answer\":\"The document reports that DoDEA outscored every state on the 2022 NAEP in grade 4 and grade 8 reading and math, with wide margins.
