  • So why are so many students faltering on the way to a college degree? A number of studies have found that taking challenging courses in high school and performing well in them are important predictors of college readiness and completion. Other research finds that students also need “college knowledge” to know how to function in a higher education institution—for instance, how to enroll, how to apply for financial aid, and how to get extra help if they need it.

    Recent report on how to make better use of tracking data to determine high school's college readiness effectiveness. Of note, the report mentions that current NCLB standards are poor predictors of college success. The report notes that schools that failed NCLB benchmarks graduated students who went on to earn high GPA and return for a second year in college. This is in contrast to schools who passed NCLB benchmarks, but scored low on GPA and 2nd year return rates. The video linked on this site summarizes the report's data.
