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 is shown for students who had previouslyattended a high school within NOVA’s jurisdiction, the majority of data in this report willrepresent NOVA students. However, it is possible that some students who attended a NorthernVirginia high school may have enrolled in a VCCS college other than NOVA. These studentswould be included in the tables in this report also.The data in this report, presented in table format, provide information on indicators of collegepreparedness 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 2010-11 high schoolgraduates enrolled at a VCCS college during Fall 2011, and a 5-year aggregated profile (Fall2007 through Fall 2011) 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;Compass 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.

The information in these College Readiness reports includes only the data provided byVCCS on this subject area.v
