What does it mean to be “college ready”?
• “…level of preparation a student needs in order to enroll and succeed- without remediation-in a credit-bearing general education course at a postsecondary institution…”1 • Important to not just get into college, but succeed in

• Forecasting for junior year has critical implications for not only junior and senior year, but post-secondary options.
