College and Career Readiness (CCR): What is it?
Under §7-205.1 of the Education Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland: “Beginning with the 2015-2016 school year, all students shall be assessed using acceptable college placement cut scores no later than 11th grade to determine whether the student is ready for college-level credit-bearing course work in English Language Arts, Literacy and Mathematics.”
***Students are assessed at the end of their 11th grade mathematics and English courses***
Frequently Asked Questions:
- If I haven’t met CCR, am I required to take an assessment? YES
- Do I need to pass the assessment for Graduation? NO
- What happens if I do not pass the 11th grade assessment? Students will be reassessed after the 12th grade course if they have not met CCR via other options.
- What if I think I've already met the CCR requirements? If you have earned the SAT or ACT score requirements or you believe you are in a dual enrollment course which would deem you CCR, please see Mrs. Maas ASAP so that she can verify your CCR status.
