Closing the Expectations Gap: 50-State Progress Report

In 2005, Achieve launched the American Diploma Project (ADP) Network at the National Education Summit on High Schools. Since 2005, Achieve has been annually monitoring state progress in college and career readiness for its populations. At the inception of the program, only three states had aligned high school standards with postsecondary and workplace expectations, and in 2010, this report reveals that 31 states have college- and career-ready standards.
