College readiness: New clues from report cards

By selliott | Sunday, August 19, 2007, 12:50 AM

(Princeton University’s Nassau Hall. Will our grads be ready for college?)

In Sunday’s DDN, Stephanie Gottschlich and I write about new state report card measures for each district that tell us something about the college readiness of their graduates.

If you want to look at all the data, I’ve compiled it here:

—Greater Miami Valley districts ranked by average ACT score.

—Greater Miami Valley districts ranked by average SAT score.

—Greater Miami Valley districts ranked by the percent of their graduates who earned honors diplomas.

—Greater Miami Valley districts ranked by the success rate of their graduates who took AP tests.

—Greater Miami Valley districts listed by their state report card rating

UPDATE: Read a local blogger’s take on this data over at Thespis Journal.
