The Solution
Instead of test scores and graduation rates alone, systems must prioritize indicators that prepare students for high-demand, high-wage jobs after high school.
Good Reason Houston tracks the following: Pre-K enrollment, kindergarten readiness, reading and math in Grades 1-3, reading and math in Grades 4-8, Algebra End-of-Course test takers in Grade 8, End-of-Course reading and math achievement, postsecondary readiness, high school graduation, postsecondary enrollment, postsecondary completion, and living wage attainment.
