The report was produced at the The Gilbert M. Grosvenor Center for Geographic Education. The press release concludes:
The results from this study report that 14 states are requiring geography for high school graduation and 13 for middle school completion, either as a stand-alone, option, or combined course, and an average of 13 states at both levels do not require geography and 25 states allow local school districts to make graduation and middle school curriculum decisions. Geography is also represented in all individual state standards, but mainly as a strand in social studies documents.
