Georgia is graduating more students from high school, but are they college or career ready?
Although the graduation rate appears to be improving, the methodology used by the State to calculate this rate is not reliable. One of my first acts in office will be to activate the long-awaited student information system so that we will know the true rate. Sadly, many of the students who do graduate are not prepared for college. One quarter of the students from Georgia who are admitted into our University System have to take remedial courses to become ready for college-level work.
