Abstract | College and career readiness is important for the future of students (Conley, 2010). Texas leads the nation in the number of public policies aimed at improving college and career readiness, however, not all policies have been effective (Blume & Zumeta, 2013). This quantitative causal-comparative study examines the effect of House Bill (HB) 5 from the 2013 83rd Texas legislative session on college and career readiness. Specifically, 304 Texas high schools' participation rates in advanced courses and Career and Technical Education (CTE) coherent sequences were measured before and after the passage of HB 5 to determine if there was a significant change. While only one of the four analyses resulted in statistically significant findings, in all four cases the average participation rate for both advanced courses and CTE coherent sequences increased.
