Federal appropriations authorized for the No Child Left Behind Act supported a multi-year study of the feasibility of a Trial Urban District Assessment of Educational Progress. The first assessment occurred in reading and writing in 2002 for five urban districts— Atlanta City, Chicago School District 299, Houston Independent School District, Los Angeles Unified, and New York City Public Schools—plus the District of Columbia. The Trial Urban District Assessment continued with NAEP 2003; results for reading and mathematics are available for Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and San Diego, as well as the District of Columbia. In 2009, the following Urban districts were included: Baltimore City, Detroit, Jefferson County, Miami-Dade, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia.
