Drawing on the 2003-15 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) grades 4 and 8 assessment and survey datasets, the study gives new insights into the CCSS policy challenges and outcomes. The states that adopted CCSS raised the rigor of proficiency standards for their student assessments, reversing ‘race to the bottom’ trend during the earlier period of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) . However, the CCSS states failed to improve schools’ alignment of ELA and math programs with state/district assessments and also failed to improve students’ reading and math achievement more than the non-CCSS counterparts. The Common Core has helped America race to the top for performance standards, but not for performance outcomes yet.  \nKeywords: Common Core; alignment; achievement; NAEP; NCLB; proficiency standards  \n¿Será Common Core lo que llevará América hacia la carrera para ser numero uno?

El estudio, basado en los conjuntos de datos de evaluaciones y encuestas de lo sgrados 4 y 8 de la Evaluación Nacional del Progreso Educativo (NAEP) 2003-15, ofrece nuevas perspectivas sobre los retos y resultados de la política de CCSS. Los estados que adoptaron la CCSS elevaron el rigor de los estándares de competencia para sus evaluaciones estudiantiles, invirtiendo la tendencia de la \"carrera hacia el fondo\" durante el período anterior de la Ley de No Child Left Behind (NCLB) . Sin embargo, los estados de la CCSS no lograron mejorar laalineación de las escuelas de los programas ELA y matemáticas con las evaluaciones estatales / distritales y tampoco lograron a mejorar los logros de lectura y matemáticas de los estudiantes más que los de que no participaron en CCSS. El Núcleo Común ha ayudado a América a llegar ala cima para los estándares de rendimiento, pero no para los resultados de rendimiento.
