This report describes 14 indicators for assessing and tracking the health of pre-college STEM education in the United States. The 2018 NSSME+, the sixth in the series of studies, provides an opportunity to examine the current status of the system relative to several of the indicators. This report includes relevant data from the 2018 NSSME+ for each of the applicable indicators. The report also shows comparisons between 2018 data and 2012 data (the previous iteration of the study) when available.
