The Thomas B. Fordham Foundation Is Out With A New Report…

looking at state educational standards.

They report:

The Common Core standards are clearly superior to those currently in use in thirty-nine states in math and thirty-seven states in English. For thirty-three states, the Common Core is superior in both math and reading.

California, the District of Columbia, and Indiana have ELA standards that are better than Common Core standards. Eleven states have ELA standards that are in the same league as the Common Core.

Eleven states plus the District of Columbia have math standards in the “too close to call” category, but no state has better standards than the Common Core standard.

When it comes to letter grades only a few states were able to improve their letter grade on ELA standards. Tennessee did the best.

When it comes to letter grades more states were able to improve their letter grade for Math standards. Utah did the best.

When it comes to letter grades only the states of California and Indiana along with the District of Columbia had grades that beat the common core for both math and English.

Each state gets fully looked at in the report.
