Study: Indiana College Readiness Improves

Study: Indiana College Readiness Improves The Dual Language Immersion Pilot Program is in its second year.

The Indiana Commission for Higher Education says more than 80 percent of high school students in Indiana who graduated in 2014 were prepared for college, a five percent improvement from the previous year. Indiana’s latest College Readiness Reports say only 18 percent of students needed remediation heading into college.

Of all the students who required remediation, 49 percent of them needed remediation in mathematics, 34 percent needed English and language arts remediation, and 17 percent needed both.

"When students leave our K-12 system college-ready, they spend less on costly remedial courses and are more likely to graduate on time," said Indiana Commissioner for Higher Education Teresa Lubbers. "Gains in recent years are encouraging, but much work remains to increase academic preparation for Indiana’s high school graduates, especially in math."

The College Readiness Reports are released each year for every Indiana high school, school district and county. The commission says the number of high school graduates who go directly to college is on par with the national average at 65 percent. More than half of students earn college credit before graduating high school.
