In Klein ISD the success of our students is bolstered when each child is surrounded by individuals who instill in each of them a desire to pursue life-long learning, and if each person is given information that can help guide that learning. Here you will find specific information and informative links that detail more about how students can prepare for university study and workplace experiences.

There is a difference between being college-eligible and being college-ready. To be college-ready means that a student has the knowledge, skills, and behaviors to complete a college course of study successfully--without remediation.

Students: Check to see if you are "on track" to meet college entrance requirements to your selected college. Also check to see how you "stack up" to the college freshman who have been selected by your university of choice. Use your College Board log in or create a user profile if you have not already done so. Then search for the "Academic Tracker". You will be able to select a college, see the average high school GPA accepted, visit their website to view their "core" curriculum and the curriculum of your desired area of study, and you will be able to see the average accepted SAT and ACT score of their freshman class.
