What pathways are students engaged in preparing for life beyond high school?

What does this score mean?

PSRI includes multiple pathways where students can participate and demonstrate readiness for life beyond high school.This is important because students can choose a series of educational opportunities which contribute to their learning and preparedness for postsecondary. A student who participates in one or more of these opportunities will contribute in each area. Postsecondary readiness includes: 1) participation in a college entrance exam and ACT or SAT score; 2) college level, postsecondary or advanced coursework; and 3) career and technical education (CTE) concentrators.

The current measures for PSRI:

1) Participation rate in a college entrance exam - ACT or SAT; 2) Percent of the ACT test takers who have an ACT composite score 22 or higher or SAT test takers who have an SAT total score 1,110 or higher; 3) Percent of students who took college level, postsecondary or advanced coursework, such as: Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, concurrent enrollment, or post-secondary enrollment options; 4) Percent of students who are career and technical education (CTE) concentrators.
