Academic Benchmarks

Database of Standards

The Academic Benchmarks Database of Standards contains 1.6 million state, national, local district, and international standards in a configurable, electronic format for use and application by all stakeholders in the K-12 education community.

Within the Database, each standard is assigned an Academic Benchmarks Globally Unique Identifier (AB GUID), the standard’s fingerprint. The AB GUID enables a standard to have a constant reference point across countless relationships, whether the connection is with content or other standards.

Having sold ProgressBook to a new customer in a new State and with a very tight implementation window, we were in the need for a quick solution to add new benchmarks to our flagship product. We chose Academic Benchmarks. Later I found out that the customer manually verified each of the benchmarks and positively commented on the accuracy; there were no updates required. Thank you Academic Benchmarks for the quality service.

Continually managed and reviewed by Academic Benchmarks for accuracy and updates, the Database of Standards provides several key benefits to the education provider community, including:

Consolidation of standards information and data formats developed by disparate state and local sources in one place;
Elimination of need to maintain standards with internal resources;
Acceleration of implementation of strategic relationships with K-12 partners due to a single reference language by which companies can share aligned content;
Ability to develop customized tools around standards and products.

The Database of Standards is available for subscription on a per-state, per-subject basis.
