Condition of Education Reports


The Condition of Education is a congressionally mandated annual report that provides a definitive look at developments and trends in U.S. education. Released by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the Condition of Education presents 43 of the most significant indicators on the status and condition of education, in five main areas: (1) participation in education; (2) learner outcomes; (3) student effort and educational progress; (4) the contexts of elementary and secondary education; and (5) the contexts of postsecondary education. AIR experts played a major role in producing the latest edition of The Condition of Education 2011 which projects that enrollment in U.S. schools is expected to grow through the decade, as the U.S. population increases.
