(Chelsea Update would like to thank Mike Kapolka for the information in this story.)
The SAT recently released its College and Career Readiness scores for the Class of 2019.
Here is some background from the College Board that best defines this metric:
The college and career readiness benchmarks associated with the SAT are based on actual student success in entry-level college courses. Benchmarks are set at the section level (Math, Evidence-Based Reading and Writing) for each assessment and represent increasing levels of achievement as students progress from grade eight through grade 12. The SAT benchmark scores represent a 75% likelihood of a student achieving at least a C grade in a first-semester, credit-bearing college course in a related subject.
So how did CHS measure up?
The State of Michigan’s college and career readiness average for the Class of 2019 was 35 percent.
Chelsea High School’s college and career readiness average for our Class of 2019 was 72 percent.
Chelsea High School ranked No. 12 in the state
For the second consecutive year, CHS had the highest math scores in Washtenaw County for college readiness (80 percent) and was ranked No. 4 in the county at 78 percent for Evidence Based Reading and Writing.
“This is outstanding data that validates much of the effort we have collectively placed on preparing all of our students for a productive post-secondary experience once they exit Chelsea High School,” Kapolka said.
