The New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) is a plan developed by the departments of education in three U.S. states (New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont) in the New England area in response to the requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.

The program's primary goal is a standardized test based on uniform Grade-Level Expectations (GLEs) that will test all students in grades 3-8 and 11 in reading, writing, and mathematics, that will be taken in the fall of the 2005-2006 school year. Students in grades 5, 8, and 11 will also be tested in writing.
