1. As of 2013, less than 1/3 of all high school graduates were ready for entry-level college classes in the four core areas: English, math, science, and reading.
2. Of the 1.8 million high school students who took the ACT that year, only 26% reached the college readiness benchmarks in all four subjects.
3. 27% reached the benchmarks in two or three of the subjects.
4. 16% reached the benchmark for only one of the four core areas.
5. This means that roughly 30% of the students who took the ACT in 2013 didn't meet any of the college readiness benchmarks.
6. Minnesota and Wisconsin were the best in at reaching the benchmarks, while Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and North Carolina performed the worst.
