High School Math Courses Predict Whether Students Go To College, Study Finds
When students graduate high school, people typically say they have the whole world ahead of them. But some of their future can be predicted just by looking at their high school transcript. New data show that if students in Central Texas take advanced math courses, they have a higher chance of graduating college.
Texas high school students have to take three math courses to graduate, but Algebra II isn’t one of them. The state dropped the Algebra II requirement in 2013 when it implemented new high school graduation requirements.

High School Graduates now are at about an eight grade level when I went to school. College grads about entry in the Sophmore year of a college grad in 1970. This appalling ignorance is demonstrated by Obama everyday. His lack of knowledge re science, ,math, statistics, international affairs, economics is simply stunning.
My grandfather graduated from high school in 1918. I read his textbooks. The typical college graduate today would be unable to understand them. Large numbers of high school graduates cannot even function at the middle school level. They are functionally illiterate and innumerate. They can decode standard written English but they cannot comprehend what they can decode. These are native English speakers not immigrants.
