4 Report Highlights In 216, CISD has 27 National Merit Semifinalists 2,165 seniors took the SAT and 1,66 seniors took the ACT. This is an increase in college entrance assessment participation students took 9386 AP exams. The 216 Advanced Placement mean score was 2.87 compared to the Texas mean score of 2.51 and the national mean score of Currently, there are 1,87 CISD dual credit enrollments at Lone Star College the school year. Summer 216, CISD had 134 dual credit students enrolled in CISD summer school program. Based on information submitted by Lone Star College-Montgomery, over 55 current CISD students have earned 12 or more college credits through the CISD dual credit and accelerated college programs. CISD administered over 8 TSI assessments during the school year. In addition, Lone Star College-Montgomery provided assistance with TSI testing for approximately 3 CISD dual credit potential students and 12 th grade students through Senior Connections. Targeted Areas for Improvement Increase the number of students participating in the Accelerated College Program Increase African American and Hispanic student s participation in AP classes and taking AP exams. Increase academic and workforce development dual credit participation. Increase the number of National Merit Semifinalists. Hard Work, High Expectations, Meaningful Relationships, Developing a Sense of Future, Creating Capacity and Aligning our Beliefs We believe hard work and setting high expectations has a significant role in the success of our CISD students. In our efforts to develop a sense of future for our students, we believe that every CISD student will be academically prepared to enter any post-secondary program with confidence and the ability to strive for success. By developing meaningful relationship among students and adults, CISD students are provided with a strong foundation for student achievement in post-secondary programs. Under the leadership of our Board of Trustees and Superintendent, we are working to create the capacity within our organizations to continue to improve. We are working to align our action plans and operational procedures to support our district and campus goals as well as what we believe. We have acknowledged that continuous improvement is a requirement in servicing the students. Therefore, we are committed to working hard to raise the level of academic rigor and success for all CISD students. This report attempts to capture the performance of high school programs as they relate to preparing students for college and post-high school programs. 4

5 Description of College Entrance Exams PSAT The PSAT (Preliminary SAT) is a test targeted for high school juniors, but is often taken by freshmen and sophomores as well. Students take the test to: (1) Help assess skills necessary for college-level work; (2) Prepare for the SAT; (3) Enter competitions for national scholarships; and (4) Receive information from colleges. For juniors, this test is also the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. National Merit Semifinalists The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that began in High school juniors enter the competition by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. Of the 1.5 million entrants among 11 th grade students nationwide, some 5, with the highest PSAT/NMSQT Selection Index Scores (critical reading + math + writing scores) qualify for recognition in the National Merit Scholarship Program as either Commended students or Semifinalists. In September, about 16, students, roughly 1% of the entrants, or approximately one-third of the 5, high scorers are identified as National Merit Semifinalists. Semifinalists are designated on a state representational basis, meaning that the highest scores for each state are represented. To advance to the Finalist standing in February, Semifinalists must complete the materials they are provided and meet high academic standards.

6 The SAT is accepted by many colleges and universities throughout the country for consideration in the admissions process. It is scored on a scale from 2-8 on each test (critical reading, mathematics and writing). SAT consists of three major sections: Critical Reading, Mathematics, and Writing. Each section receives a score on the scale of 2 8. All scores are multiples of 1. Total scores are calculated by combining scores of the three sections SAT SAT Subject Tests Subject Tests are multiple choice tests, with the exception of the essay. The subject tests measure the students knowledge of subjects on a high school level. Students may take up to three tests on a given test date.there are 2 SAT Subject Tests in five general subject areas: English, history, languages, mathematics and science. These tests are required or recommended by colleges for placement, and sometimes, admissions. ACT The ACT test is a curriculum-based examination that consists of tests in English, Reading, Mathematics and Science. The ACT is accepted by virtually all U.S. Colleges and Universities. It also takes approximately three hours. Scores range from The composite score is usually used for admissions. Some colleges will use the individual subject scores for placement. An optional 3-minute writing test was added in February of 25. Students will need to check with the colleges to which they are applying to see if the test is required for admissions. AP The Advanced Placement exams are administered each year in May and represent the culmination of collegelevel work attained in a given course in a high school setting. AP exams test students ability to perform at a college level. The AP Program offers more than 3 courses across a wide variety of subject areas. The exams are scored on 1-5 scale, and students who score a 3 or above are given credit at Texas public universities. Some students are able to begin college with sophomore standing. During the school year, the Texas Education Agency provided a test fee subsidy in the amount of $3 for each AP exam taken by students who qualify for the free and reduced lunch program significantly bringing the cost of the exam down. To support participation on exams all of our high school campuses subsidized the exam cost to some extent. Texas Success Initiative (TSI) The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a state legislated program designed to improve student success in college by requiring all students attending public institutions of higher education, unless considered TSI exempt, to complete assessment in reading, writing and mathematics before enrolling in classes. Students scoring below placement standards are required to enroll in developmental courses which do not apply towards a degree or certificate. TSI exempt status is obtained if a student acquires a qualifying score on the PSAT, SAT or ACT exams. In , the TSI became a requirement for dual credit eligibility. 6

7 Recognizing Achievement Each September, the College Board recognizes the many high school students who have distinguished themselves academically by announcing AP award recipients. There are several types of awards granted for various levels of achievement. Although there is no monetary award in addition to receiving the award certificate, this achievement is acknowledged on any score report that is sent to colleges the following fall. AP Scholar = Granted to students who receive grades of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams. AP Scholar with Honor = Granted to students who receive an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams. AP Scholar with Distinction = Granted to students who receive an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams. National AP Scholar = Granted to students in the United States who receive an average grade of at least 4 on all AP Exams taken, and grades of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams. State AP Scholar = Granted to the one male and one female student in each U.S. state and the District of Columbia with scores of 3 or higher on the greatest number of AP Exams, and then the highest average score (at least 3.5) on all AP Exams taken International AP Scholar = Granted to the one male and one female student attending a school outside the United States and Canada that is not a Do DEA school with the highest average score on the greatest number of AP Exams. The minimum requirement is a score of 3 or higher on three exams.

8 Recommended High School Program and Distinguished Achievement Program The Recommended and Distinguished Achievement programs have additional academic requirements. The CISD s minimum plan requires 24 credits as compared to the state s 22 credit plan. In addition, the Recommended and Distinguished Achievement Programs are associated with the academic performance by taking rigorous courses. Note: Students entering high school in the school year and beyond are required to complete the FHSP, Foundation High School Program. C.I.S.D. encourages all students to earn the FHSP with an endorsement. Endorsements are pathways in a Program of Study which help to guide post-secondary planning. Under the FHSP a student can also earn performance acknowledgements. It is important in C.I.S.D. for each student to keep all options open for the future and to complete the most advanced program possible while earning a diploma and graduating from high school. Note: Due to the delay of the release of data from the state, this data is based on 214 CISD graduates.

49 CISD Advanced Placement Report Secondary Curriculum and Instruction Equity Belief Statement Conroe ISD encourages teachers, counselors, and principals to make equitable access a guiding principle for their advanced academic programs. Conroe ISD is committed to the principle that all students deserve an opportunity to participate in rigorous and academically challenging courses and programs. All students who are willing to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum should be considered for admission into Pre- AP and AP courses. Conroe ISD encourages the elimination of barriers that restrict access to these programs for students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the advanced programs. Schools should put forth a concerted effort to ensure that AP and Pre-AP classes reflect the diversity of the campus population. The College Board Report to the Nation now offers a different approach to the measurement of AP success. In order to encourage the largest percentage of students to participate in AP, school results are now reported by the percentage of students in a total population who had at least one AP experience resulting in an exam score of 3 or higher. There are three objectives for success. 1) Increase Access. Recent research shows that participation in high-quality curricula, measured by an external assessment such as the AP exam, significantly boosts the likelihood of traditionally underserved students future success in college. 2) Improve Awareness. Students who score a 3 or higher on AP exams typically experience greater academic success in college and have higher graduation rates than otherwise comparable non-ap peers. 3) Strengthen Academics. Research shows that students who took AP math or science exams were more likely than non-ap students to earn degrees in particular physical science, engineering and life science disciplines. In the 213 Education Pays report, research supports the life-long benefits for students with access to higher education. There is not only a positive correlation between education and earnings but also the positive impact on the community. Although more students are graduating from high school, the income gap between a student with high school diploma and a one with a bachelor s degree has increased significantly. The benefits of higher education include: Higher earnings and better likelihood of employment Better health care Less reliance on social safety-net programs Healthier lifestyles Higher levels of civic participation Better preparation of children for school Participation in college is affected by family income, parent education level, and type of institution attended. 49

50 Current Research on AP Programs Growth of AP Programs nationwide has raised questions about the validity of the score on an AP test. Current research shows that the standards have not decreased despite growth in the program. AP students outperform freshman college students in most subjects. A worldwide comparison of calculus students shows that the United States ranks 15 th in the world. AP calculus students are performing better than the top ranked nation, France. Even with scoring a 1 or 2 on the test, they outperform the highest ranking countries on standardized testing.

51 College Board AP Audit The AP Course Audit was created at the request of secondary school and college and university members of the College Board who sought a means to provide teachers and administrators with clear guidelines on the curricular and resource requirements for AP courses. The AP Course Audit also helps colleges and universities better interpret secondary school courses marked "AP" on students' transcripts. To receive authorization from the College Board to label a course "AP," schools must demonstrate how their courses meet or exceed these requirements. All Conroe ISD AP teachers submit an audit and syllabus for their course. Schools and their approved courses are available to the public. Colleges and universities are sent a ledger listing all schools offering authorized AP courses as well as the names of all courses authorized at each school. 51

68 216 Current Campus Dual Credit Enrollment by Course The Conroe Independent School District has an ongoing relationship with Lone Star College Montgomery in offering dual credit and Work Force courses. These are classes taught for both high school and college credit at the same time. Instructors must be adjunct faculty members of the college. Here is a summary of the courses currently being taught at our CISD high schools. All credits earned in dual credit classes are transferable to any state university. LSC tuition is waived for dual credit courses. CISD students pay $66. per course in administrative fees. Traditional cost is approximately $2. per course for non-dual credit students. The more college credits a student obtains in high school the higher probability that student will attend college and earn a degree. CISD students are encouraged to cross the 2 college credit threshold that is a key breaking point between students who complete a college degree and those who never finish college. Caney Creek, Conroe and Oak Ridge High Schools offer an Accelerated College Program as an opportunity for students to earn an Associate of Arts of Science degree. Oak Ridge High School is in the eighth year of their Accelerated College Program. Currently, Caney Creek and Conroe High Accelerated College are in their third year in the Accelerated College Program. The first group of students from Caney Creek and Conroe High Schools are anticipated to graduate in school year. Factors affecting student participation in Dual Credit: Availability of math and elective dual credit qualifying teachers on high school campuses. Limited availability of dual credit courses offered on high school campuses. More students are engaging in extra-curricular activities which limits the flexibility in their high school schedule.
