ESSA School Quality and Student Success Indicators
Rhode Island’s Postsecondary Success Indicator measures the percent of students with one or more of the following:
- A CTE industry-approved credential;
- College credits through dual or concurrent enrollment; or
- Completion of AP tests.
Starting in 2021, this indicator will expand to include two Council Designations, one of which is a pathway endorsement that will certify that a student has completed academic study, career and interest engagement and application of skills to ensure they are prepared for their career pathway of choice.
