Abstract	This document examines the accomplishments of California's educational reform movement (1983-1993) in the context of the five major recommendations outlined in the 1983 report, "A Nation at Risk." A more comprehensive view of the state's systemic reforms is also provided. The five goals included the following: (1) strengthen graduation requirements and provide a stronger curriculum; (2) adopt more rigorous and measurable standards and expectations; (3) devote more time to study the core curriculum; (4) enhance staff development and the teaching profession; and (5) provide effective leadership and adequate resources. Although school productivity is difficult to quantify, data indicate that progress is occurring for all categories of students. California has also been challenged by 100,000 new students that have entered schools annually since 1983, an increase in the number of limited-English speaking and economically disadvantaged students, and declines in funding. Twelve figures are included. (LMI)
