What is the rationale for the Proficiency Reports?
Proficiency Reports provide feedback to CSU campuses about the proportion of new regularly admitted, first-time freshmen that are prepared to enroll in college-level math or college-level English courses. They also provide the same feedback for the specific California high schools from where the freshman originated. Proficiency is demonstrated by two outcomes that are determined before freshmen begin their first fall term: exhibiting a sufficiently high verbal and math SAT/ACT scores, scoring above the cut-off on the CSU math and English placement tests. The link for the Proficiency Reports is on the homepage. Because proficiency is determined at entry, cohort-based statistics are posted just one term after initial enrollment.
