The national Change the Equation initiative has released its 2012 STEM "Vital Signs" report cards for the US. Each state has a separate report card covering such topics as opportunities, pipeline, demand, expectations, teacher and student preparation, and recommendations. Custom reports may also be created and reviewed.
California's report shows that the state is raising the bar by adopting the Common Core math standards, yet challenges due to funding cuts and achievement gaps for under-represented students persist. Recommendations include requiring higher scores on math and science, aligning high school exit and college entrance requirements, and obtaining a higher return on investment for dollars put towards STEM efforts. http://changetheequation.org/sites/default/files/vital-pdfs/CA-CTEq-vital-signs.pdf
