Young people do best when they experience strong, positive relationships in all parts of their
lives. (parenting adults, sibling(s), friends, teachers, and program leaders) Research to date shows that young people who experience strong developmental relationships across different parts of their lives are more likely to show signs of positive development in many areas including:
- Increased academic motivation
- Increased social-emotional growth and learning
- Increased sense of personal responsibility; and
- Reduced engagement in a variety of high-risk behaviors.

The TSI Assessment (TSIA) is part of the Texas Success Initiative program designed to help determine if you are ready for college-level coursework in the general areas of reading, writing, and mathematics. This program also will help determine what type of course or intervention will best meet your needs to help you become better prepared for college-level coursework if you are not ready.
If your TSI mathematics, reading, or writing test score is lower than the college readiness cut- score, you may be placed in either a developmental course or an intervention to improve your skills and to prepare you for success in college-level courses. This may cause you to lose a free period during your senior year. Sign up today and do you best!
