Benchmark 5: Academic Rigor and Readiness

The Collegiate Academy of Birdville shall administer a Texas Success Initiative (TSI) college placement exam to all accepted ECHS students to assess college readiness, design individual instructional support plans, and enable students to begin college courses based on their performance on the TSI exam.

The test will be given three times a year, with additional testing on an individual basis as necessary. If a student has not successfully completed the Reading and Writing portion of the exam by the end of his/her freshman year or the Math portion by the end of sophomore year the student will receive additional preparation and may be required to take a test prep course or attend Boot Camp during the summer.
