The 7 Keys for College Readiness document outlines 7 benchmarks that students should achieve from kindergarten through 12th grade to be prepared for postsecondary education and careers. The keys include achieving reading proficiency in early elementary school, completing advanced math courses by middle school, and obtaining SAT or ACT scores that predict success in college without needing remediation. The goals are designed to eliminate achievement gaps and ensure all students are on a trajectory for college and career readiness regardless of their race or ethnicity.
