In another study by researchers from the University of Michigan, the imbalance between rich and poor children in college completion — the single most important predictor of success in the work force — has grown by about 50 percent since the late 1980s.

For Get Started: College and Career Readiness for All!

  • 1 Research is clear that 9th grade is a "make or break" year. More students fail 9th grade than any other grade in high school, and a disproportionate number of students who are held back in 9th grade subsequently drop out (Herlihy, 2007; 9th Grade Transitions by Connie Warren, Cheri Fancsali et al).
  • 1 College, postsecondary, or career readiness refers to readiness to succeed in any formal setting in which an individual pursues additional instruction beyond high school. This might include two- or four-year degree programs, certificate or licensure programs, apprenticeships, or training programs in the military (ACT, 2006; Council of Chief State School Officers and National Governor's Association, 2011.
