College Readiness Data: Alexandria, Arlington, and Falls Church High SchoolsIntroductionThis report presents data from the Virginia Community College System (VCCS) on students’level of preparedness for college, or college readiness. Information is included for studentsenrolled in a VCCS college who graduated from high schools served by Northern VirginiaCommunity College (NOVA). Because the data includes students who had previously attendeda high school within NOVA’s jurisdiction, the majority of data in this report will represent NOVAstudents. However, it is possible that some students who attended a Northern Virginia highschool may have enrolled in a VCCS college other than NOVA. These students would also beincluded in the tables in this report.The data in this report, presented in table format, provide information on indicators of collegereadiness, which shows how well high school graduates are prepared for college. Thisinformation includes the student outcomes of recent high school graduates during their firstsemester at a VCCS college.The tables in this report consist of two types: a one-year profile for 2015-16 high schoolgraduates enrolled at a VCCS college during Fall 2016, and a five-year aggregated profile (Fall2012 through Fall 2016) of high school graduates enrolled at a VCCS college. The followingcategories are included:a.b.c.d.e.f.g.Number of high school graduates by high school;Dual enrolled students;VPT placement test results;Grade Point Average (GPA) ranges;Course grades;Curricular program classifications; andCurricular program selections.This report presents the data for Alexandria City, Arlington County, and Falls Church City.
