Student Achievement Measures
The Blinn College District has adopted a mission to build stronger communities by providing quality, comprehensive education, and empowering students to achieve excellence in their educational careers and personal goals.
To better understand our progress in achieving the educational portion of our mission, Blinn has adopted five measures of student achievement. These metrics, reported below, are reviewed annually by the College’s Strategic Planning Committee and Executive Council, which develop recommendations for plans of action to improve student success.
