Database of Standards

The Academic Benchmarks Database of Standards contains 1.6 million state, national, local district, and international standards in a configurable, electronic format for use and application by all stakeholders in the K-12 education community.

Within the Database, each standard is assigned an Academic Benchmarks Globally Unique Identifier (AB GUID), the standard’s fingerprint. The AB GUID enables a standard to have a constant reference point across countless relationships, whether the connection is with content or other standards.
