Austin ISD sees 7% jump in postsecondary readiness market since 2022 (En español)

New scorecard reporting data shows more than 50% of 11th and 12th grade students in 2024-25 were successful in a college credit course, a nearly 7 percent jump from 2022. This increase, which is expected to rise further by the end of the year, is the result of multi-year efforts to increase college, career and military readiness for students, ensuring graduates are ready for life after Austin ISD.
