  1. Executive Summary Agenda Item: College Readiness Report Purpose: provide a high level overview of college-readiness of Montana high school students

  2. Summary Points Over 60% of Montana high school graduates took entrance exam.

  3. Summary Points Montana’s class of 2008 scored above National Averages.

  4. Summary Points Depending on the measure used, between 49% to 81% of the students tested College Ready.

  5. Summary Points Taking a Rigorous Core in high school improves scores.

  6. Follow-up Questions Sample questions Regents may wish to pursue • Montana’s averages look pretty good, why then do approximately 1/3 of entering freshmen require some form of remediation? • Why do so many high school students take the MUSWA when ACT and SAT now offer writing assessments?   • How does Montana’s college continuation rate compare to the percent of student taking admission exams? • How do other states leverage entrance exams to increase college participation rates and preparation?
