CISD administered over 800 TSI assessments during the 2015-2016 school year. In addition, Lone Star
College-Montgomery provided assistance with TSI testing for approximately 300 CISD dual credit
potential students and 12th grade students through Senior Connections.
Targeted Areas for Improvement
Increase the number of students participating in the Accelerated College Program
Increase African American and Hispanic student’s participation in AP classes and taking AP exams.
Increase academic and workforce development dual credit participation.
Increase the number of National Merit Semifinalists.
Hard Work, High Expectations, Meaningful Relationships, Developing a Sense of
Future, Creating Capacity and Aligning our Beliefs
We believe hard work and setting high expectations has a significant role in the success of our CISD students.
In our efforts to develop a sense of future for our students, we believe that every CISD student will be
academically prepared to enter any post-secondary program with confidence and the ability to strive for success.
By developing meaningful relationship among students and adults, CISD students are provided with a strong
foundation for student achievement in post-secondary programs. Under the leadership of our Board of Trustees
and Superintendent, we are working to create the capacity within our organizations to continue to improve. We
are working to align our action plans and operational procedures to support our district and campus goals as
well as what we believe.
We have acknowledged that continuous improvement is a requirement in servicing the students. Therefore, we
are committed to working hard to raise the level of academic rigor and success for all CISD students. This
report attempts to capture the performance of high school programs as they relate to preparing students for
college and post-high school programs.

Description of College Entrance Exams
PSAT
The PSAT (Preliminary SAT) is a test targeted for high school juniors, but is often taken by freshmen and
sophomores as well. Students take the test to: (1) Help assess skills necessary for college-level work; (2)
Prepare for the SAT; (3) Enter competitions for national scholarships; and (4) Receive information from
colleges. For juniors, this test is also the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.
National Merit
Semifinalists
The National Merit Scholarship Program is an academic competition for recognition and scholarships that
began in 1955. High school juniors enter the competition by taking the Preliminary SAT/National Merit
Scholarship Qualifying Test.
Of the 1.5 million entrants among 11th grade students nationwide, some 50,000 with the highest PSAT/NMSQT
Selection Index Scores (critical reading + math + writing scores) qualify for recognition in the National Merit
Scholarship Program as either Commended students or Semifinalists.
In September, about 16,000 students, roughly 1% of the entrants, or approximately one-third of the 50,000 high
scorers are identified as National Merit Semifinalists. Semifinalists are designated on a state representational
basis, meaning that the highest scores for each state are represented. To advance to the Finalist standing in
February, Semifinalists must complete the materials they are provided and meet high academic standards.

SAT
The SAT is accepted by many colleges and universities throughout the country for consideration in the
admissions process. It is scored on a scale from 200-800 on each test (critical reading, mathematics and
writing). SAT consists of three major sections: Critical Reading, Mathematics, and Writing. Each section
receives a score on the scale of 200–800. All scores are multiples of 10. Total scores are calculated by
combining scores of the three sections
SAT Subject Tests
Subject Tests are multiple choice tests, with the exception of the essay. The subject tests measure the students’
knowledge of subjects on a high school level. Students may take up to three tests on a given test date .There are
20 SAT Subject Tests in five general subject areas: English, history, languages, mathematics and science.
These tests are required or recommended by colleges for placement, and sometimes, admissions.
ACT
The ACT test is a curriculum-based examination that consists of tests in English, Reading, Mathematics and
Science. The ACT is accepted by virtually all U.S. Colleges and Universities. It also takes approximately three
hours. Scores range from 1-36. The composite score is usually used for admissions. Some colleges will use
the individual subject scores for placement. An optional 30-minute writing test was added in February of 2005.
Students will need to check with the colleges to which they are applying to see if the test is required for
admissions.
AP
The Advanced Placement exams are administered each year in May and represent the culmination of college-
level work attained in a given course in a high school setting. AP exams test students’ ability to perform at a
college level. The AP Program offers more than 30 courses across a wide variety of subject areas. The exams
are scored on 1-5 scale, and students who score a 3 or above are given credit at Texas public universities. Some
students are able to begin college with sophomore standing. During the 2014-2015 school year, the Texas
Education Agency provided a test fee subsidy in the amount of $30 for each AP exam taken by students who
qualify for the free and reduced lunch program significantly bringing the cost of the exam down. To support
participation on exams all of our high school campuses subsidized the exam cost to some extent.
Texas Success Initiative (TSI)
The Texas Success Initiative (TSI) is a state legislated program designed to improve student success in college
by requiring all students attending public institutions of higher education, unless considered TSI exempt, to
complete assessment in reading, writing and mathematics before enrolling in classes. Students scoring below
placement standards are required to enroll in developmental courses which do not apply towards a degree or
certificate. TSI exempt status is obtained if a student acquires a qualifying score on the PSAT, SAT or ACT
exams. In 2013-2014, the TSI became a requirement for dual credit eligibility.

Recognizing Achievement
Each September, the College Board recognizes the many high school students who have distinguished
themselves academically by announcing AP award recipients. There are several types of awards granted for
various levels of achievement. Although there is no monetary award in addition to receiving the award
certificate, this achievement is acknowledged on any score report that is sent to colleges the following fall.
AP Scholar = Granted to students who receive grades of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams.
AP Scholar with Honor = Granted to students who receive an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams
taken, and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams.
AP Scholar with Distinction = Granted to students who receive an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken,
and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams.
National AP Scholar = Granted to students in the United States who receive an average grade of at least 4 on all AP
Exams taken, and grades of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams.
State AP Scholar = Granted to the one male and one female student in each U.S. state and the District of Columbia with
scores of 3 or higher on the greatest number of AP Exams, and then the highest average score (at least 3.5) on all AP
Exams taken
International AP Scholar = Granted to the one male and one female student attending a school outside the United States
and Canada that is not a Do DEA school with the highest average score on the greatest number of AP Exams. The
minimum requirement is a score of 3 or higher on three exams.

Recommended High School Program and Distinguished Achievement Program
The Recommended and Distinguished Achievement programs have additional academic requirements. The
CISD’s minimum plan requires 24 credits as compared to the state’s 22 credit plan. In addition, the
Recommended and Distinguished Achievement Programs are associated with the academic performance by
taking rigorous courses.
Note: Students entering high school in the 2014-15 school year and beyond are required to complete the FHSP,
Foundation High School Program. C.I.S.D. encourages all students to earn the FHSP with an endorsement.
Endorsements are pathways in a Program of Study which help to guide post-secondary planning. Under the
FHSP a student can also earn performance acknowledgements. It is important in C.I.S.D. for each student to
keep all options open for the future and to complete the most advanced program possible while earning a
diploma and graduating from high school.
Note: Due to the delay of the release of data from the state, this data is based on 2014 CISD graduates.

CISD Advanced Placement Report
Secondary Curriculum and Instruction Equity Belief Statement
Conroe ISD encourages teachers, counselors, and principals to make equitable access a guiding principle for
their advanced academic programs. Conroe ISD is committed to the principle that all students deserve an
opportunity to participate in rigorous and academically challenging courses and programs. All students who are
willing to accept the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum should be considered for admission into Pre-
AP and AP courses. Conroe ISD encourages the elimination of barriers that restrict access to these programs for
students from ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in the
advanced programs. Schools should put forth a concerted effort to ensure that AP and Pre-AP classes reflect the
diversity of the campus population.
The College Board Report to the Nation now offers a different approach to the measurement of AP success. In
order to encourage the largest percentage of students to participate in AP, school results are now reported by the
percentage of students in a total population who had at least one AP experience resulting in an exam score of 3
or higher. There are three objectives for success. 1) Increase Access. Recent research shows that participation
in high-quality curricula, measured by an external assessment such as the AP exam, significantly boosts the
likelihood of traditionally underserved students’ future success in college. 2) Improve Awareness. Students
who score a 3 or higher on AP exams typically experience greater academic success in college and have higher
graduation rates than otherwise comparable non-AP peers. 3) Strengthen Academics. Research shows that
students who took AP math or science exams were more likely than non-AP students to earn degrees in
particular physical science, engineering and life science disciplines.
In the 2013 Education Pays report, research supports the life-long benefits for students with access to higher
education. There is not only a positive correlation between education and earnings but also the positive impact
on the community. Although more students are graduating from high school, the income gap between a student
with high school diploma and a one with a bachelor’s degree has increased significantly.
The benefits of higher education include:
Higher earnings and better likelihood of employment
Better health care
Less reliance on social safety-net programs
Healthier lifestyles
Higher levels of civic participation
Better preparation of children for school
Participation in college is affected by family income, parent education level, and type of institution attended.

Current Research on AP Programs
Growth of AP Programs nationwide has raised questions about the validity of the score on an AP test. Current
research shows that the standards have not decreased despite growth in the program. AP students outperform
freshman college students in most subjects. A worldwide comparison of calculus students shows that the
United States ranks 15th in the world. AP calculus students are performing better than the top ranked nation,
France. Even with scoring a 1 or 2 on the test, they outperform the highest ranking countries on standardized
testing.

College Board AP Audit
The AP Course Audit was created at the request of secondary school and college and university members of the
College Board who sought a means to provide teachers and administrators with clear guidelines on the
curricular and resource requirements for AP courses. The AP Course Audit also helps colleges and universities
better interpret secondary school courses marked "AP" on students' transcripts. To receive authorization from
the College Board to label a course "AP," schools must demonstrate how their courses meet or exceed these

CISD AP Scholars
Recognizing Achievement
Each September, the College Board recognizes the many high school students who have distinguished
themselves academically by announcing AP award recipients. There are several types of awards granted for
various levels of achievement. Although there is no monetary award in addition to receiving an award
certificate, this achievement is acknowledged on any score report that is sent to colleges the following fall.
AP Scholar = Granted to students who receive grades of 3 or higher on three or more AP Exams.
AP Scholar with Honor = Granted to students who receive an average grade of at least 3.25 on all AP Exams
taken, and grades of 3 or higher on four or more of these exams.
AP Scholar with Distinction = Granted to students who receive an average grade of at least 3.5 on all AP Exams taken,
and grades of 3 or higher on five or more of these exams.
National AP Scholar = Granted to students in the United States who receive an average grade of at least 4 on all AP
Exams taken, and grades of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams.
State AP Scholar = Granted to the one male and one female student in each U.S. state and the District of Columbia with
scores of 3 or higher on the greatest number of AP Exams, and then the highest average score (at least 3.5) on all AP
Exams taken
AP Prep Conference
To assist CISD AP students on their AP exams, CISD has offered an AP Prep Conference in April for the past
nine years. The conference has been offered each year at a different CISD high school and offers students the
opportunity to attend up to four sessions of their choice where they learn tips and content for the tests from
Master CISD AP teachers. Students attending the AP Prep Conference receive an AP t-shirt in recognition of
their achievement in AP. In 2008, 445 students attended the prep conference. That number grew to 479 in
2009 and almost doubled in 2010 to 808, and had 900 students in 2011, in 2012 over 1000 students, and 2013
exceeded the previous year with over 1300 students. 2014 hosted a successful 1100 students, 2015 exceeded the
previous year with a total of 1207 students, and 2016 registered well over 1250.

2016 Current Campus Dual Credit Enrollment by Course
The Conroe Independent School District has an ongoing relationship with Lone Star College Montgomery in
offering dual credit and Work Force courses. These are classes taught for both high school and college credit at
the same time. Instructors must be adjunct faculty members of the college. Here is a summary of the courses
currently being taught at our CISD high schools. All credits earned in dual credit classes are transferable to any
state university. LSC tuition is waived for dual credit courses. CISD students pay $66.00 per course in
administrative fees. Traditional cost is approximately $200.00 per course for non-dual credit students.
The more college credits a student obtains in high school the higher probability that student will attend college
and earn a degree. CISD students are encouraged to cross the “20 college credit threshold” that is a key
breaking point between students who complete a college degree and those who never finish college.
Caney Creek, Conroe and Oak Ridge High Schools offer an Accelerated College Program as an opportunity for
students to earn an Associate of Arts of Science degree. Oak Ridge High School is in the eighth year of their
Accelerated College Program. Currently, Caney Creek and Conroe High Accelerated College are in their third
year in the Accelerated College Program. The first group of students from Caney Creek and Conroe High
Schools are anticipated to graduate in 2016-2017 school year.
Factors affecting student participation in 2015-2016 Dual Credit:
Availability of math and elective dual credit qualifying teachers on high school campuses.
Limited availability of dual credit courses offered on high school campuses.
More students are engaging in extra-curricular activities which limits the flexibility in their high
school schedule.

workforce opportunities that will enhance their successful transition into the workforce after graduation.
We began a partnership with Lone Star College Montgomery in the area of Work Force training in the 2008-09
school year. We currently have students enrolled in three certificate programs: Welding, Phlebotomy and
Certified Nurse’s Aide (CNA), and CNC (Computer Numeric Operation and Programming):
