  1. Why Remediated Graduates D. R. Davis An analysis of Chapter 3 Postsecondary Education Digest of Education Statistics

  2. Shifting Population • Table 19/Figure 13 • “the number of young students has been growing more rapidly than the number of older students, but this pattern is expected to shift.” • Table 226 • the percentage of “minority” college students has increased to be greater than 50% of the total college populace

  3. Achievements reduce? • Table 125 • Writing scores • In 2002 – • 4th grade 154 • 8th grade 153 • 12 grade 148 • In 2007 • 8th grade 156 • 12th grade 153 • Table 116 • Reading scores • In 2002 – • 4th grade 219 • 8th grade 264 • 12th grade 287 • In 2007 • 8th grade263 • 12th grade N/A

  4. Act scores (table 147) • 1995 • ENGL=20.2 • MATH=20.2 • READ=21.3 • SCI REAS=21.0 • 2002 • ENGL=20.2 • MATH=20.6 • READ=21.1 • SCI REAS=20.8 • 2007 • ENGL=20.7 • MATH=21.0 • READ=21.5 • SCI REAS=21.0 Carnegie units (table 149) • 2005 – • 26.68 units • English 4.42 • Maths 3.67 • Science 3.34 • SocSci 3.98 • 1994 – • 24.17 units • English 4.29 • Maths 3.33 • Science 3.04 • SocSci 3.55 • 2000 – • 26.05 units • English 4.39 • Maths 3.56 • Science 3.20 • SocSci 3.83

  5. It just doesn’t make sense! • No great difference • Achievement Scores • Students appear to be as successful as ever • ACT Scores • Student scores have not changed substantially • A score of 19 for English 1101 placement • A score of 24 for English 1102 placement • A score of 13 for Math 1010 placement • A score of 18 for Math 1100 placement • Carnegie Units • Students seem to be taking more classes with less success!

  6. And therefore . . . . • The trend can be expected to continue. • Students will take and pass high school requirements, will graduate, and 50% or more will be placed remedially. • Fall 2010 – • 4200 students at SSU; • 910 slots for remedial English
