Abstract	Grade 12 student participation in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) is a perennial problem. This study uses logistic regression on archival data from the 2009 Grade 12 State NAEP administration in Connecticut to examine whether student non-participation in NAEP was predictable based on student variables (achievement and attendance) and school variables (school size and efforts to encourage participation). The analysis showed that the predictor variables used accounted for a statistically significant but small amount of variance in NAEP participation. Additionally, the results provide evidence that a representative sample of Connecticut students participated in NAEP 2009, suggesting that student non-participation was unlikely to have compromised the validity of results. The discussion includes recommendations for increasing participation rates. Key
