Key Findings 

The 2015 study—the sixth in the series—analyzed the standards set for public school students for the 2014–2015 school year in reading and mathematics at grades 4 and 8. This report also analyzed the standards of proficient performance of the three major testing programs: ACT Aspire (ACT), The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC), and Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC).

• States are setting higher benchmarks for “proficient” performance.
• The difference between the states with the highest and lowest expectations is narrowing, due in large part to movement on the lower end of the scale.
