Correct! In the transparency reports, Achieve looked at not only whether a state reported data at all, but also whether that data was broken down by student subgroups, released in a timely manner, and reported in a way that counts all students.

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

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.

Eight states – Arizona, the District of Columbia, 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.

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.
