After 24 years in the K-12 education space, Achieve has shut its doors. Read the statement from Michael Cohen, President of Achieve here.
Our website www.achieve.org will remain available through December 31, 2020.
Former Achieve science team members have founded the NextGenScience project at WestEd where they will continue working with educators and partners across the nation to improve the quality of science education. Please visit their website and @NextGenScience to learn more about their work. They will continue to serve as stewards of the NGSS, sharing resources with the field through the nextgenscience.org website, NGSSNow newsletter, and @OfficialNGS.
All students should graduate from high school ready for college, careers, and citizenship.


In 1999, Achieve organized an external review of Illinois' state education policies designed to complement an extensive, in-depth benchmarking analysis of the state's academic standards and assessments completed by Achieve earlier in the year. The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and the Illinois Business Roundtable sponsored Achieve's benchmarking and policy reviews.
