ECISD leaders announced Tuesday night the school district has earned a College, Career and Military Readiness (CCMR) score of 88%, a 15-point jump from last year and 12 points higher than the state score. The 88 equals an A.
Since 2020, ECISD’s CCMR score has increased each year from 58% to 63% to 65% to 73% and now 88%, a news release said.
College, Career and Military Readiness is a measure that exists to ensure Texas students are prepared for life after high school. Each high school and each school district earns a CCMR score and it makes up a large percentage of the school’s TEA Accountability Rating.
“Improving our CCMR score is one of our school board’s goals and has been a priority for us,” said ECISD Interim Superintendent Keeley Boyer. “A lot of people have worked tirelessly to make sure we are tracking students as early as 9th grade to keep them on pace to earn their CCMR credit. I am extremely proud of their work, and the work of our teachers and our students.”
TEA defines College Ready as: meets Texas Success Initiative (TSI) criteria (this includes SAT and ACT); earns dual course credits; meets criteria on AP/IB exams; or earns an associate’s degree.
TEA defines Career Ready as: earns an industry-based certificate; graduates with a completed Individualized Education Program (IEP) and workforce readiness; graduates with an advanced diploma plan and received special education services; or earns a Level 1 or 2 certificate.
TEA defines Military Ready as: enlists in the U.S. Armed Forces/Texas National Guard.
CCMR is a lagging indicator, meaning the 2024 accountability scores include the CCMR number for the Class of 2023.
