Tyler ISD projects rise in college‑, career‑and‑military‑ready graduates; industry certifications climb
Summary
District staff reported progress toward CCMR goals, higher projected CCMR rates this year, increases in industry-based certifications and steady participation in AP and dual-credit programs.
Tyler ISD officials reported to the board that the district is making progress toward its college-, career- and military-ready (CCMR) goals and that industry-based certification totals have risen for recent graduates.
Dr. Kristen Walls, executive director of College and Career, said the district’s CCMR target was recalibrated to 86.7% by June 2029 to reflect changes in state accountability. The district reported a gain from 71.1% (class of 2022) to 77% (class of 2023); projections for recent graduates are in the low- to mid-80s, with staff noting roughly 84% in current projections. For advanced placement, last year 546 students took exams and 464 students scored a 3 or higher; AP exam registrations for the current cycle were higher, with estimates based on registrations and historical pass rates.
On career-technical education, staff said the class of 2024 earned 668 industry-based certifications (IBCs). As of Jan. 31 for the class of 2025 the district reported 677 IBCs and later in the presentation said the most recent count had risen to 725 as testing continued. Dr. Walls described how the CCMR definition changed (for example, CTE concentrators and approved IBCs) and said the district remains on a path to improve CCMR measures through program alignment, work-based learning and course sequencing.
Board members asked questions about tracking and the impact of state accountability changes; presenters said CCMR reporting lags and that some numbers are projections. The district characterized the work as ongoing and tied to career pathways and course sequencing so students can complete concentrator requirements by junior year if they choose.
