President Bush is seeking Congressional approval to test 12th graders at the nation's public schools.
Mandatory testing is required of fourth- and eighth-graders who are tested in all states every other year. Some states test high school students.
Indian students who take the National Assessment of Educational Progress have shown gains on standardized tests but lag behind their counterparts.
