Minimum Colorado College and Career Ready Determinations Established by the Colorado State
Board of Education
The state’s minimum College and Career Ready Determinations for English, math, science and social studies are set to match proficiency levels on the state assessment, higher education’s cut scores for placement in credit bearing classes, industry certificates, and the military’s cut scores for academic consideration for preferred career training. They are designed to be of approximate comparable rigor and will be refined, improved, and added to over time.

Hanover Research Institute conducted a study on the relationship of standards-based grading and college admissions. Schools included in the study were Harvard, Princeton, Yale, MIT, Cal Tech, Columbia, Duke, Brown, University of Chicago, Northwestern and other top ranked colleges and universities.
“Generally, admissions offices treat all grades as welcome indicators of high school performance while implicitly acknowledging that every school has a unique perspective, student body and system. None of the college admissions offices contacted expressed a concern or negative view of a transcript based on standards-based grading.”
Leading Colleges are NOT ConcernedAbout Standards-based Grading
Frequently Expressed Concerns
Claims Response/ActualitySBG hurts my student’s chance of getting into colleges
There has been no decline in college acceptance or scholarships at FHS since SBG
Colleges do not know about SBG or understand it
Colleges are very aware of SBG as many states/districts/schools are using SBG
SBG only benefits the low students
High students are challenged to apply learning with SBG
SBG does not prepare my student for college
Remediation rates for college have decreased 27.3% with SBG
SBG is less consistent and more subjective than the old system
Both systems are administered by people so there are always some inconsistencies. We are minimizing those with SBG
