The following is not a goal included in the Goals 2000: Educate America Act:

Goals 2000 called for at least 90 percent of students to graduate from high school, not 80 percent. The other statements describe goals in the act, including school readiness, adult literacy, and parent participation. So the statement about graduates rising to 80 percent or more is not a goal as written.
