Colorado knows the variation by institution concerning remediation. Four year remdiation ranges from less than 1% at Boulder to 48% at Adams State. Each state should provide this data to its citizens and policymakers for deliberation.
College Remediation
Nearly One in Three Colo. Graduates Needs Remedial Courses in College, Study Finds
About one in three first-year college students in Colorado needs remedial help in at least one core subject, according to an annual report. Officials are confident that a new system in place to align Colorado’s K-12 schools with higher education will begin to reverse this trend. Overall, 52.7% of recent Colorado high school graduates who enrolled in two-year colleges in 2008 needed remedial help, while 19% of students attending four-year colleges needed remedial courses. The report also shows how well high schools are preparing students for college-level work (source ECS). |
