Students poorly prepared for college Newly released numbers on how ready Tennessee students are for college paint a grim picture of the state's continued challenges in improving K-12 education. The data was released to the state Senate Education Committee and shows college readiness in math and reading down to the high school level. It shows that while some public high schools prepare their students extraordinarily well for college, others have profound challenges and send many of their students to college needing remedial education. The numbers also show contrasts in other parts of the state — in economically distressed, suburban and rural areas. Students who need remedial education have a lower chance of graduating from college, according to state data. Students are deemed to need remedial efforts on either math or reading when they score 18 or below on the ACT subtest, according to the state. 46 percent of the roughly 33,000 high school graduates at Tennessee's public colleges in 2016-17 needed remedial efforts in math. And 33 percent needed remedial efforts in reading. Tennessee has been one of the fastest-improving states in national education rankings.
