The article contains one chart showing five year trends on "Students Meeting College-Readiness Standards." The other chart shows 5-year trends on ACT "Scores Nationwide."
Approximately, 1.5 million student were tested in 2010 and in each of the areas assessed by the ACT (English, math, reading, science) the average scores were 20.5, 21, 21.3, 20.0 respectively. The composite average score was 21. Over 5 years, there has been little change in this composite score.
What is troubling is that only 24% of students met the benchmarks in all four subjects for college-preparedness. In English, 66% met the benchmark; in math, 43%; in reading, 52%; and in science, 29%.
