CCR Data and Transparency Quiz

Hawaii, Illinois, Nevada, North Carolina, and Tennessee all report college- and career-ready assessment results, but they don’t break the results down by student subgroups. See which states report data by subgroups here.

You’re right. Just Delaware and Nevada earned a perfect score in the category evaluating whether states report data for all eight indicators of student readiness. Check out their complete state reports here.

Nine states – Arizona, the District of Columbia, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Vermont – don’t report any data on college remediation. See Achieve’s full set of transparency reports here.

It’s important for states to consider multiple indicators of college and career readiness to get the most complete picture of student readiness. That data also needs to be disaggregated and count all students. Using only an aggregate number could mask gaps between different groups of students. 

If a state has made data available from the two most recent graduating cohort years (2014-15 and 2015-16), they earned points for this category. Any data older than two years did not earn points for timeliness. Postsecondary indicators have a longer lag time in reporting and a different definition of timeliness. For the full details on this and other point-awarding criteria, see the transparency report methodology.

That’s right! Minnesota earned the highest transparency score, with 26.25 points out of a possible 32. See the details in their transparency report here. 

Incorrect. States using any of these options earned points for counting all students in Achieve’s transparency reports. For the full details on this and other criteria Achieve used to award points in the transparency reports, please see the transparency report methodology.

Minnesota and Massachusetts earned top marks in Achieve’s transparency reports for breaking their data down by student subgroups, earning scores of 7.25 and 7 out of 8 possible points, respectively. See how all states did here.
