Local schools vary widely in what percentage of their graduates need remedial coursework as college freshmen.
According to the Ohio Department of Higher Education, the statewide remediation rate dropped for the seventh straight year in 2018-19.
The report also shows a remediation rate for each high school in the state that had at least six students enroll at an Ohio public college. These rates are not a clear proxy for a high school’s academic performance, as they don’t measure the academics of students who attend private colleges, out-of-state colleges or no college.
This list examines only students who attended Ohio public colleges and universities as freshmen in 2018-19. It shows what percentage of freshmen from each high school took remedial (developmental) math or English.
