What is NMSI? NMSI stands for National Mathematics + Science Initiative. Central Cambria is excited to announce that we will be working with NMSI to help our students prepare for their futures.
Success in the 21st-century economy requires a higher level of education — and stronger foundation in math and science — than ever before. NMSI’s College Readiness Program is meeting this need, raising the academic bar in high schools nationwide and expanding access to rigorous coursework so that all students are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed after graduation.
Research shows that exposure to rigorous classes in high schools is a key indicator of post-secondary success. In addition to preparing students for the rigors of college, challenging coursework like Advanced Placement enables students to dig deeper into subjects that interest them and build analytical and problem-solving skills that build confidence and are essential for success in any career path.
NMSI’s College Readiness Program is ensuring that more students have access to the challenging classes that will prepare them for future success. Through a combination of student, teacher and schools supports, the three-year program dramatically increases the number of students taking and earning qualifying scores on Advanced Placement math, science and English exams and has a proven track record of improving results for traditionally underserved and female students. In addition, AP students who score a 3 or higher on AP exams are more likely to earn a college degree on time, which can save students and families both time and money.
To date, NMSI’s CRP has made a dramatic and lasting difference in more than 1,200 public high schools across 34 states, driving unparalleled positive student outcomes across a variety of settings — urban and rural, disadvantaged and affluent, traditional and charter. The program boosts AP performance in partner schools by 10 times the national average after just one year and produces continued positive results over the three years of program implementation, including outstanding gains for female and minority students. Through the Military Families Mission, NMSI is also ensuring that students of our nation’s service members have access to consistent, high-quality educational opportunities whenever or wherever their families may be transferred.
