In Texas, CCMR stands for College, Career, and Military Readiness. CCMR points are awarded to school districts based on the percentage of graduates who meet certain criteria related to college, career, and military readiness.
To earn CCMR points, graduates must meet one or more of the following criteria:
- Earn college credit through Advanced Placement (AP) or dual credit courses
- Earn a qualifying score on the SAT, ACT, or TSIA2
- Complete a coherent sequence of career and technical education (CTE) courses & earn an industry-based certification or license.
- Enlist in the military
The Texas Education Agency (TEA) awards CCMR points to school districts based on the percentage of graduates who meet these criteria. The points are used as a measure of a school district's success in preparing students for college, career, and military readiness.

Qualifying Scores on the SAT, ACT, or TSIA2
Students can earn CCMR points through their performance on college entrance exams such as the SAT, ACT, and TSIA (Texas Success Initiative Assessment).
To earn a CCMR point through test scores, a student must meet or exceed the following benchmarks:
- SAT: Score of 480 on the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing (EBRW) section and a score of 530 on the Math section
- ACT: Composite score of 18 with a minimum of 19 on the English and 19 on the Math sections
- TSIA2:
- Mathematics: A College Readiness Classification (CRC) score of at least 950; or a CRC score below 950 and a Diagnostic level of 6.
- English Language Arts Reading: A College Readiness Classification (CRC) score equal to or greater than 945 and an essay score of at least 4.
If a student meets or exceeds these benchmarks on one or more of these exams, they can earn a CCMR point.
It's important to note that earning a CCMR point through test scores is just one of the criteria that students can use to demonstrate their college, career, and military readiness. Students can also earn CCMR points through other measures, such as completing college credit courses, enlisting in the military, or completing a coherent sequence of career and technical education (CTE) courses while earning an industry-based certification or license.
