About 1/2 of students enrolling in community
college require remediation.
A 2012 district evaluation found that 44% of
[school name] graduates were not college ready
in math.
For minority students the numbers are even
higher, as much as 90% in some places.
Only about 22% of students that undertake
remediation complete college and receive a
degree.
It’s time to rethink readiness.
