Understanding Remediation Trends Among Graduates: A Statistical Analysis of Education Patterns

This analysis examines the evolving landscape of postsecondary education, highlighting significant trends in student demographics, achievement scores, and the increasing need for remedial education. Recent data indicates a rising population of younger students and a shift in minority representation, now exceeding 50% of college attendees. Despite consistent ACT scores over the years, the implication is clear: many graduates are completing high school but entering college requiring remediation. This report analyzes various educational metrics, aiming to provide insights into the future of academic preparedness for college students.

  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
