Postsecondary Readiness Index 4 ATAC KEY RECOMMENDATIONS 2015 Postsecondary Readiness Indicator The 2014 Postsecondary Indicator (College-Ready Graduates) is expanded to include additional credit for students in other postsecondary readiness activities. The proposed 2015 Postsecondary Indicator is defined as the percent of annually reported graduates that meet any one of three criteria, detailed below. Indicator definition Number of annual graduates reported for school year 2013– 14 that either: 1) meet TSI criteria in both reading/ELA and mathematics on TAKS, SAT, or ACT OR 2) completed and received credit for at least one advanced/dual enrollment course OR 3) enrolled and completed credit for the CTE Coherent Sequence ------------------------divided by------------------------Number of annual graduates reported for school year 2013– 14 H I S D Becoming #Great.
