Just 37% of U.S. High School Seniors Prepared for College Math and Reading, Test Shows
Only 37% of American 12th-graders were academically prepared for college math and reading in 2015, a slight dip from two years earlier, according to test scores released Wednesday.
The National Assessment of Educational Progress, also known as the “Nation’s Report Card,” said that share was down from an estimated 39% in math and 38% in reading in 2013.
Educators and policy makers have long lamented that many seniors get diplomas even though they aren’t ready for college, careers or the military. Those who go to college often burn through financial aid or build debt while taking remedial classes that don’t earn credits toward a degree.

A better question is how many high schools grads are prepared for life? College was never a place for everyone. Some are beyond what college can teach them and some will have skills for jobs which don’t require college. Anyone going to college to study the new “I can be whatever species, sex or race I want” shouldn’t bother. We have enough dimbulb, unskilled, perennial boobs participating in the outrage industry. Remember, GDP measures what productive people do and not what the mob thinks the world should do to accommodate their incompetence.
