Readiness Metric
Overview
The Readiness Metric represents a student's overall college and career readiness based on a set of predefined sources. Each student can have only one Readiness Metric, and it is automatically calculated from their individual Readiness Metric Sources.
This metric aggregates scores across multiple domains using Mississippi’s accountability model scale (0 to 1.0), providing both an assessment-level and an achievement-level score.
How It Works
Readiness Metrics are not entered manually. Readiness Metrics are generated using a student’s associated Readiness Metric Sources, such as ACT, SAT, NCRC, ASVAB, and Diploma records.
The system automatically:
- Gathers the highest available score for each metric type (ACT, SAT, etc.)
- Converts the raw score into a readiness level (0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, or 1.0)
- Assigns those values to the student’s Readiness Metric record
Metric Components
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| ACT Level | Readiness level based on ACT score |
| SAT Level | Readiness level based on SAT score |
| NCRC Level | Readiness level based on NCRC certificate level |
| ASVAB Level | Readiness level based on ASVAB score |
| Diploma Level | Readiness level based on diploma type |
| Assessment Readiness Indicator | Highest value among ACT, SAT, NCRC, ASVAB |
| Achievement Readiness Indicator | Value based on diploma level |
The Assessment Readiness Indicator reflects the student’s best assessment readiness, while the Achievement Readiness Indicator reflects diploma completion and endorsement level.
Score Conversion Logic
Each raw score is converted into a readiness level based on predefined cut points:
ACT Level
| ACT Score Range | Readiness Level |
|---|---|
| < 15 | 0 |
| 15–16 | 0.25 |
| 17–19 | 0.5 |
| 20–24 | 0.75 |
| ≥ 25 | 1 |
SAT Level
| SAT Score Range | Readiness Level |
|---|---|
| < 850 | 0 |
| 850–929 | 0.25 |
| 930–1039 | 0.5 |
| 1040–1209 | 0.75 |
| ≥ 1210 | 1 |
NCRC Level
| NCRC Certificate | Readiness Level |
|---|---|
| No Certificate | 0 |
| Bronze | 0.25 |
| Silver | 0.5 |
| Gold | 0.75 |
| Platinum | 1 |
ASVAB Level
| ASVAB Score Range | Readiness Level |
|---|---|
| < 31 | 0 |
| 31–49 | 0.25 |
| 50–64 | 0.5 |
| 65–92 | 0.75 |
| ≥ 93 | 1 |
Diploma Level
| Diploma Type | Readiness Level |
|---|---|
| No Qualifying Completion | 0 |
| Diploma Equivalency or Traditional Diploma in 5th year | 0.25 |
| Traditional or Alternate Diploma | 0.5 |
| Diploma with Academic, CTE, or JROTC Endorsement | 0.75 |
| Distinguished Diploma | 1 |
Notes
- All readiness levels must be between 0 and 1, inclusive.
- If a student has no valid score for a source, a value of 0 is used.
- These values are also exportable using the CSV and PDF export feature for reporting purposes.
