Having the right policies is, of course, necessary to ensure that students graduate academically prepared for college and careers. But policy alone is insufficient. Implementation of policy at all levels—state, district, school, and classroom—matters. So how do states—and their citizens—know whether their policies are having the intended impact? How would one determine whether students are meeting what is now the objective in every state—not just more students graduating high school but more graduating college and career ready? To know the answer to this question, Achieve this year decided to look not at state policy but at actual student performance against CCR measures in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.  \nThis report represents the first time that these data, from publicly available sources, have been compiled to paint a picture of college and career readiness in every state.1 For the most part, it shows that too few high school graduates are prepared to succeed in postsecondary education, the military, and careers. Rather surprisingly, the report also shows significant limitations in the availability of data and inconsistencies in how they are reported, making it challenging for policymakers, educators, families, and advocates to have a clear answer to the simple question: Are high school graduates prepared for postsecondary success?  \nSpecifically, Achieve looked at indicators of college and career readiness, including students’ performance on CCR assessments, completion of a rigorous course of study, and earning college credit while in high school. Achieve believes there may be other meaningful measures of college and career readiness and hopes to include such measures in future reports. Achieve also looked at postsecondary indicators: high school graduates’ enrollment, persistence, and remediation rates at two-and four-year colleges. These indicators will be the subject of a separate, forthcoming report.  \nThe intent of this report is two-fold:  \n• To focus state and national conversations about college and career readiness on results—on the actual performance of highschool graduates in each state.  \n• To draw attention to the need to improve metricsto evaluate performance and progress. Many states do not yet report critical indicators, or they do so in vastly different ways from one another. Consequently, there is little comparability across states, and little transparency within many.  \nTo provide transparency about both the performance of the state’s K–12 system and the preparedness of its high school graduates, Achieve recommends that states report two new CCR graduation rates, calculated in a manner comparable to how states currently report high school graduation rates, using the 9th grade adjusted cohort as the denominator:  \n• Percentage of the cohort that demonstrates they have met CCR benchmarks in math and English language arts/ literacy on a CCR assessment; and  \n• Percentage of the cohort that completes a CCR course of study.  \nAdditionally, the way states calculate and report indicators matters for results and can raise a sense of urgency. Achieve recommends that states report data:  \n• Using the 9th grade cohort asthe denominator. States should report how their adjusted 9th grade cohort, not just test takers, seniors, or graduates, fare, in order to portray the full picture of students’ readiness.  \n• Disaggregated by students’ race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, English language proficiency, and disability status to identify and close performance gaps among student groups. Too often, reporting “all students” results masks variation in reporting group performance.  \nThe goal of this work is to focu","cbCaikx3RyEXxvDL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikx3RyEXxvDL","pdf",988887,24,"English","# State and national focus on results\n## Recommended CCR graduation rates and reporting approach\n## What data indicates about student readiness\n## State data summary table and indicator coverage","[{\"question\":\"What does the report measure to assess college and career readiness?\",\"answer\":\"It examines indicators such as students’ performance on CCR assessments, completion of a rigorous CCR course of study, and earning college credit while in high school.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the report emphasize that policy alone is insufficient?\",\"answer\":\"Because implementation at state, district, school, and classroom levels determines whether CCR policies have the intended impact on actual student outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"What reporting changes does Achieve recommend for states?\",\"answer\":\"States should report new CCR graduation rates using the 9th-grade adjusted cohort as the denominator and disaggregate results by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, English proficiency, and disability status.\"}]","The College and Career Readiness of U.S. High School Graduates - March 2016 | PDF",1791064328]
