CCR Data and Transparency Quiz

The average score was just above a 50% - 16.5 out of 32 possible points. See the full set of transparency reports here.

Just ten states – Massachusetts, Ohio, Oregon, Washington, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Louisiana, Nevada, and Florida – report data about whether students are on track to graduate. See how all states stack up 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. 

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.

You’re right. Oklahoma is the only state that doesn’t publicly report their four-year graduation rate.

Correct. 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.
