Student Achievement

8.1 Student Achievement: The institution identifies, evaluates, and publishes goals and outcomes for student achievement appropriate to the institution’s mission, the nature of the students it serves, and the kinds of programs offered. The institution uses multiple measures to document student success.

To evaluate its effectiveness in supporting student success and achievement, the College tracks the following Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) as part of its strategic goals assessment process: satisfying college readiness standards, successful course completion, persistence, graduation, transfer, and state licensure. For the purpose of evaluation, benchmarks were identified for each KPI to provide a basis for assessing individual goal achievement. In some cases, as noted in the chart below, the benchmark is based upon the average of Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board peer group outcomes data (THECB); while in other cases, the benchmark is based upon the College’s internal data, as appropriate.
