Since 2003, leading education companies and other respected organizations have individually selected Academic Benchmarks as their standards data services provider for K-12 education. Through the recognition and adoption of Academic Benchmarks data utility and its supporting identification protocol, the market has realized the value and benefits that emerge from standardizing the method it engages standards.

Clients have driven the success and development of Academic Benchmarks since day one. The standards database, now more than 2.5 million standards records strong, consists of the standards that our clients have asked for to build their products and content. We have every standard we have ever collected still in our database and these are retrievable by our clients. We developed a tool set to suggest the most appropriate match of educational resource to the standards, based on the user definition of a quality alignment. We established a professional services team comprised of experienced project managers, subject matter experts, and alignment specialist to engage our clients who sought relief from the intensive labor associated with a historically manual alignment process, without sacrificing quality.
