A proposed model for college-readiness in state accountability

There is growing interest among state leaders on incorporating college/career-ready measures into state accountability systems. One proposed model comes from Indiana. Earlier this month, their department of education released for public comment a draft state accountability model that includes "college and career attainment" measures. High schools would be ranked on an index that includes points for the percentage of students who earn a 3 or higher on one or more AP or IB exams, complete 3 college credits or earn an industry certification.

Pages 4-5 of the draft lay out other considerations, such as ACT/SAT scores and increases in students earning honors diplomas.
