One accusation about the Common Core I recently investigated, the official documentation and telling comments by one of the professors involved in the process: It's math curriculum does not even reach the level of precalclus by high school graduation. No one who goes to a school that's totally based on it will ever be admitted to MIT or any other serious STEM program that expects you at minimum to be ready to learn the calculus when you arrive.
