America’s public education COLLAPSING as 2018 student test scores the worst in history
(Natural News) Eight years after adopting Bill Gate’s common core indoctrination standards, the public education system is reporting the lowest test scores for college readiness. According to the ACT’s annual report, average test scores for mathematics plummeted to their lowest level in two decades. The report, Condition of College and Career Readiness 2018, warned that readiness in English is at its lowest since the ACT standards were introduced. In 2015, readiness for English was 46 percent; just three years later, readiness had fallen to just 40 percent. Readiness in reading fell to 46 percent , and science readiness remained the most problematic for graduates, dropping to 36 percent.
Math scores continue to fall to historically low levels
Most shocking, U.S. high school graduates in all 50 states and the District of Columbia recorded their lowest math scores in twenty years. According to the ACT College Readiness Benchmark in mathematics, only 40 percent of 2018 graduates are ready for a college level algebra class. Math scores have been plummeting in recent years. In 2012, American students scored 21.1. Last year the average score was 20.7. This year, students scored a meager 20.5.
ACT CEO Marten Roorda is deeply concerned about this negative trend in mathematics. She calls the drop-off in test scores “a red flag for our country” especially in a tech-driven global job market where math and science are vitally important to success.
The ACT isn’t harder than it once was. This curriculum-based achievement test surveys schools and determines what is important for success in a first year college course. The ACT measures the academic skills that are most important for success after high school.
