• How Are We Defining College Readiness? – SchoolBook

  • • Having students retest in English and math until a 75 was earned. (The target of scoring 80 on the algebra Regents was not set for schools yet.)
    • Having students take at least one advanced placement course before graduating.
    • Having students attend a Saturday SAT academy. (Financing from the Gates grant ended in 2009, and as a result of citywide budget cuts during 2009, 2010 and 2011, the Saturday SAT academy also ended.)
