20. Overarching Goal “By 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world.” President Barack Obama, February 24, 2009 Early Learning (Birth-grade 3) Elementary(Grades K-5) Secondary (Grades 6-12) Post-Secondary Goal: All graduates have opportunities for success in the 21st century economy. Goal: All students enter middle school with foundational skills to tackle advanced subjects. Goal: All students graduate high school on time prepared for at least one year of post-secondary. Goal: All kindergarten students arrive ready to learn and remain on track to 4th grade.
