The nation’s high school graduates continue to be ill-prepared for
college and careers, according to the testing company ACT. ACT released
the 2013 state-by-state results of its college and career readiness test
Tuesday. Only 39 percent of the 2013 graduates who took the test met
three or more of the four ACT benchmarks. Nearly a third, 31 percent,
didn’t meet any of the benchmarks, meaning they’ll be more likely to
struggle in first-year college courses, according to ACT. Scores
continue to be lower for minority students.
