High-quality curriculum is vital to student learning and outcomes in math. Yet we have far too little information about student access to this resource nationally.

In *K-8 Math Curriculum Quality: The State of District-Led Selection,* CEMD shines much-needed light on the landscape of high-quality K-8 math curriculum.

In this report, we explore what high-quality curriculum looks like; examine the proportion of school districts that have adapted high-quality math curriculum; and surface the patterns and trends underway in the market. 

We focus on a subset of 934 districts we call the “Impact Core,” which represents more than 52% of all students nationwide, and more than 60% of historically underserved students. 

 

Key Findings:

- About 36% of school districts selected exclusively green-rated math curriculum for elementary school, and about 22% for middle school. 
- Unrated curricula are prevalent. Most often, when districts selected a product that wasn’t green-rated, it was unrated — this category represents 28% of all product selections for elementary school, and 30% for middle school. These are most often state-specific versions of products.

#### Market Insight:

We believe the data is suggestive of sector-level progress towards quality. We also see clear signals in the market that quality will continue to expand its footprint in coming years.
