This collection of slope graphs illustrates the recent trends in college readiness among NYC high school graduates in various demographic subgroups. The underlying data was released by the City of New York.

The data graphics show an upward trend in the percentage of students who are “college ready” according to The College Readiness Index:

The College Readiness Index (CRI) is calculated by the NYC Department of Education and includes students who meet CUNY’s remediation standards, which are currently defined as: (1) graduated by August with a Regents diploma, (2) earned a 75+ on the English Regents exam, or scored 480+ on the Critical Reading SAT, or scored a 20+ on the ACT English, or scored a 70+ on the CUNY Reading Assessment and a 56+ on the CUNY Writing Assessment, and (3) scored an 80+ on a Math Regents, or 70+ on a Common Core Algebra or Geometry Regents and completed coursework in Algebra II/Trigonometry or higher, or scored 480+ on the Math SAT, or scored a 20+ on the ACT Math, or scored a 40+ on the CUNY Math Assessment, or scored an 80+ on the PBAT and completed required coursework.
