Kansas College Readiness Drops Amid Rising ACT Gap
The Journal-World finds Kansas students hit a new college readiness low while ACT benchmarks show the national average higher in most subjects. From 2014 to 2024 the gap widened as college going fell about 10 points, despite more high schoolers taking college classes. Kansas education leaders cite literacy efforts and data driven strategies as needed to reverse the trend, with universities reporting improved retention and graduation despite lower readiness scores.
