Texas CCMR Indicators

The Texas Education Agency (TEA) has set standards for high school students to show they're ready for college, careers, or the military. These standards, called CCMR (College, Career, and Military Readiness) indicators, play a big role Texas high school's A-F Accountability ratings. While meeting CCMR indicators isn't required for graduation on its own, they are closely linked to graduation requirements and vary depending on a student's future plans. To help understand and plan for CCMR, students and parents can use the provided list of indicators. School counselors are available each year to help students choose the right courses to meet both graduation and future goals. They, along with the CCMR team, are valuable resources for planning and achieving postsecondary success. 

Castleberry ISD strives to ensure that ALL graduates attain at least one CCMR indicator before graduation.
