Redefining Ready
Elementary and Secondary Education Act: 1965 Redefining Ready
No Child Left Behind: 2001 Redefining Ready
Students are more than just the number they earn on a standardized test.

According to ACT…
Out of 1.9 million test takers, only 40 percent of the high school graduating class was deemed college ready by meeting three or four of the ACT College Readiness Benchmarks. Only 28% met all four benchmarks.
Every Student Succeeds Act: 2015 Redefining Ready
“We all learn in a variety of ways. Our students learn in a variety of ways. They should be able to demonstrate readiness in a variety of ways.”
Simple Truth
We looked at the research from leading educational institutions and research organizations to develop a new
multi-metric, research-based definition of College and Career Ready.
Leading Research
Leading Research
“82% of high schools report that students are enrolled in dual credit courses.” – This must be considered in our college readiness indicators.
2011 report by the National Center for Educational statistics
The National Center for Postsecondary Research, which looked at data from Florida schools, found that dual
enrollment students were statistically significantly more likely to persist in college to a second semester
and earn a higher college GPA.

Dual Enrollment: Results of AASA & Hobsons Survey
Dual Enrollment, Dual Credit
Dual enrollment refers to courses taught to high school students at the high school for which the students receive both high school credit and college credit. Different institutions have different names for dual enrollment, such as “dual credit,” “concurrent enrollment,” or “joint enrollment.” NCES has reported that in 2002-2003 showed dual credit enrollments reached 1.16 million students. In 2010-2011 dual credit enrollments had reached 2.04 million students, a 75% increase.
Survey Executive Summary
Dual enrollment programs offer students opportunities for completing college courses and receiving college credit as part of a high school program of study.
AASA and Hobsons have established a partnership to explore the impact of dual enrollment programs as a strategy for college readiness and accelerating progress.
This report summarizes findings of our first exploratory survey.
