About two-thirds of Indiana’s 2012 high school graduates went to college in the year after high school graduation, according to a new Indiana Department of Education study.
This year’s College Readiness Report shows improvements in 2012, the most recent data, for the number of students attending secondary education as well as the college-preparedness level for the state’s graduating seniors.
“While we are encouraged that the numbers are moving in the right direction, we must maintain our sense of urgency to ensure that every Indiana student finishes high school with a diploma that equips them for college and career success,” Teresa Lubbers, commissioner for Indiana Commission for Higher Education, said in the release.
Lubbers said too many students need remediation for English and math courses when they reach college, and these credits don’t count toward a degree.
“[This] extends the time it takes them to graduate, increases the cost of their degrees and reduces the likelihood that they graduate at all,” she said in the release.
