Abstract: Governors and other state leaders know that the future economic competitiveness of their state depends on the strength of their education system. For years, college and career readiness (CCR) has been the mantra of many education leaders. Using education and workforce data, states went beyond "measuring" whether their high school students graduated ready for college or a career and began holding their high schools "accountable" for their students' readiness. This analysis provides an updated 50-state landscape scan of CCR indicators, focused on variations in CCR indicators' design, components, benchmarks, and transparency. The analysis shows that 42 states use at least one CCR indicator for federal or state high school accountability requirements, and 16 states have multiple indicators.
