US academic standards

Dataset last updated August 12, 2026.

Overview

The US academic standards dataset uses Standards entities and relationships.

The US academic standards dataset represents the official expectations for student learning across academic subjects and jurisdictions.


Source	Common Good Learning Tools ↗‘s CASE data ↗ for all 50 US states
Supported grades	K-12
Includes	Math standards ELA standards Social Studies standards Science standards Other standards (i.e., WIDA English Language Development Standards for English language learners)

When a state replaces a standards framework, the previous version still remains in the Knowledge Graph for comprehensive querying.

To access	Directions
Current frameworks	Look for standards frameworks with `isCurrent=true`.
Standards for current frameworks	First find a current framework to see its related standards. Filtering on jurisdiction and academic subject alone is NOT sufficient to get the most current standards or to disambiguate between standards belonging to different frameworks.

Use cases

Use case	Examples
Compare standards across states	Populate a standards menu across all 50 states Compare how the same concept is framed or taught in different jurisdictions
Align instructional content to official learning goals	Use standards as context to create AI-generated lesson plans Integrate standards data with your CMS for easy content tagging
Power richer analytics	Aggregate performance or coverage data by standard across all the states you serve Reduce maintenance burden on internal standards infrastructure
Query standards without state-specific naming quirks	Query by jurisdiction, subject, and grade without learning each state’s domain or cluster labels Traverse standards frameworks → standards groups → individual academic standards with normalized structure

Schema

The data represents standards frameworks, standards groups, and individual standards as a tree with the following entities and relationships:


Data model
Entities	`StandardsFramework` Root node for a jurisdiction’s standards (e.g. New York State Mathematics Learning Standards) `StandardsFrameworkItem` (child node to `StandardsFramework`) Top-level grouping like a Domain or Cluster (e.g. Operations and Algebraic Thinking or Number & Operations—Fractions) Standard within a domain or cluster (e.g. 3.NF.A.1)
Relationships	`StandardsFramework` → `hasChild` → `StandardsFrameworkItem` (e.g. New York Math framework → its top-level domains) `StandardsFrameworkItem` → `hasChild` → `StandardsFrameworkItem` (e.g. domain → cluster, or cluster → standard)

Usage details


Requires files from other datasets	None
