Fifth in a series of annual reports to measure progress toward the Nat. Educ. Goals through the year 2000. Consists of 4 documents: the Core Report (CR), the Nat. and State Data Vols.

The NSDV includes comprehensive sets of measures to describe progress at the nat. level and the progress that states have made against their own baselines.
