Students Not College Ready (2016–2025)

Definition

The number reflects eleventh-graders whose performance on the College Board SAT in the subjects of Evidence-Based Reading and Writing
and Mathematics that did not meet the college readiness benchmarks in
one or both of the subjects.

The percentage is based on the number of
eleventh-graders whose SAT test scores were included in the report. The
SAT College Readiness data are based on the SAT with essay
administration completed during the Michigan Merit Examination in the
spring of grade 11.

Districts that cross county boundaries are included in the county assigned by the data source.

Prior to the 2015-16 school year the ACT College
Readiness examination was used to measure the proficiency of high school
students in English, mathematics, reading, and science.
