You have to register to read this story, but ACT scores suggest that only 21% of high school students who took the exam were ready for college in all four areas that are tested.
51% in reading
26% in science
41% in math
68% in English
The estimate is based on the ACT's correlation between test scores and a 70% chance of getting a C in college courses.
That is quite a figure and something to ponder as we get ready to start a new year. If you skim off those who go to Madison, one would have to guess that an absolute majority of our students fall into the "unready" category.
