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 2014-15 high schoolgraduates enrolled at a VCCS college during Fall 2015, and a five-year aggregated profile (Fall2011 through Fall 2015) 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. Datafor the other public school districts in NOVA’s service area (Fairfax County, Loudoun County,Manassas City, Manassas Park City, and Prince William County) are presented in separatereports.The information in these College Readiness reports includes only the data provided by VCCSon this subject area.1
Explanatory Notes for TablesThe tables in this report consist of two types: a one-year profile and a five-year aggregatedprofile. The first series of tables for each school district present results for Fall 2015. Thesecond series of tables for each school district repeat the same type of information presented inthe first series, however, the data is aggregated by high school for the five-year period of Fall2011 through Fall 2015. A brief explanation of each table within each series is provided below.Series 1: A One-Year Profile for 2014-15 High School Graduates Entering CommunityCollege in Fall 2015Number of Graduates by High SchoolThis table shows the number of high school graduates from each high school within the schooldistrict during the 2014-15 academic year.Number of Students Who Were Dual Enrolled in High SchoolThis table presents the number of students entering community college in Fall 2015 who weredual enrolled during high school.VPT Placement ResultsThis table displays the VPT placement test results by high school for high school graduatesentering community college in Fall 2015.Distribution of GPA RangesThis table shows the distribution of GPA (grade point average) ranges for community collegestudents in Fall 2015 by the high school from which they graduated.Distribution of Grades Earned in Developmental CoursesThis table presents the distribution of grades earned by community college students indevelopmental courses in Fall 2015 by the high school from which they graduated.Distribution of Grades Earned in College-Level CoursesThis table presents the distribution of passing grades (A, B, C, D) earned by community collegestudents in college-level courses in Fall 2015 by discipline.
