Abstract: This report is designed to provide consistent reliable indicators to allow analysis of educational trends in each state over time and to provide high quality data to provide comparable information from state to state. The accessible indicator formats are designed for increased uses by a variety of audiences. The report contains two-page profiles that report the same indicators for each state. The state profiles focus on the status of each indicator as of the 1999-2000 school year, with a focus on Title I requirements under the 1994 legislation (The report was written before the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act.) The indicators in each state profile are organized into these categories: (1) school and teacher demographics; (2) student demographics; (3) statewide accountability information; (4) Title I schools; (5) National Assessment of Educational Progress results; and (5) student achievement. The report also tracks the progress of state Title I programs and the development and use of state standards in state accountability. Indicators are reported for each state, and District of Columbia, and the entire United States. Appendixes contain state proficiency level definitions, context indicators by state, and definitions and further information. (SLD) I.
