Many NYC Public School Grads Aren’t Ready for College, State Audit Finds

A recent New York State audit found that only 57% of students in New York City are college ready. CCRC Senior Research Scholar Elisabeth Barnett spoke to the New York Post about these findings and the reality of students' experiences: "Especially when students first get to college, they’re often very insecure about if they belong there. So if they get told they’re not college ready, that can be a very big blow."
