“Latino high school graduates are more prepared for college and workforce training than they were in 2002, according to a recent report released by The ACT, a national achievement testing firm.
The report, “State of College Readiness for Latino Students,” examined college readiness among Latino students in 11th and 12th grades. According to the report, Latino high school graduates of the class of 2006 increased their average ACT composite, English, mathematics, reading and science scores.
Researchers found the improvements particularly astounding, since nearly 20,000 more Latino graduates took the ACT in 2006 than in 2002.”
