About Us

The Coalition for a College and Career Ready America is a collective of more than 100 like-minded organizations committed to engaging with federal, state, and local policy leaders to increase U.S. K-12 student performance, raise high school graduation rates, and ensure that America’s education system prepares all students for college and today's workplace.

Formed in 2009, the CCCRA (formerly known as the Coalition for Student Achievement) united organizations across the U.S. to help ensure that federal education funds available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) would be used, in part, to drive key education reforms to dramatically improve U.S. student achievement—a cornerstone of sustained national economic recovery.

Currently, the coalition is focused on advancing a broad array of policies and actions that enable states, districts and schools can take to support all students graduating from high school ready for college and career success.

The Coalition’s mission is to support and strengthen reform voices at the local and state level by ensuring their strong connection and voice at the national level around the critical issue of significantly enhancing student achievement in this country.
