ESSA School Quality and Student Success Indicators
Illinois’ accountability system includes a College and Career Readiness indicator, weighted at 6.25 percent of the overall high school score. Students are differentiated as either Distinguished Scholars or College and Career Ready.

– Earn a College and Career Pathway endorsement or
– Meet one academic indicator in ELA and math, identify a career interest and meet three career-ready indicators.
Career-ready indicators include workplace learning experiences, industry credentials, military service, a passing grade in a dual credit career pathway course, completing a program of study, employment, community service and/or co-curricular activities.
