This was a post on the HRNET which seems appropriate info for members of
this list as well so here it is. Regards, Joan

>From our local news rag. Here is a campus-by-campus breakdown for the
California State University system of the percentage of freshmen
considered not ready for college work in 1994. Students were assessed by
their high school grades and test scores and, or some, by placement tests.

Campus English Math

Bakersfield 44.5% 61.1
Chico 37 61.6
Dominguez Hills 74.7 84.9
Fresno 54.5 69.7
Fullerton 50.5 45.2
Hayward 53.9 64.2
Humboldt 20 54.2
Los Angeles 81.4 72.2
Long Beach 58.2 65.3
Northridge 69.7 69.7
Pomona 54.4 30.6
Sacramento 46.8 62.1
San Bernadino 49.5 71.0
San Diego 44.0 32.0
San Francisco 48.8 61.9
San Jose 57.5 52.3
San Luis Obispo 16.0 20.6
Sonoma 26.8 56.8
Stanislaus 47.6 69.0

Keep in mind, these are just the kids who are in college at CSU - it
doesn't include all the kids that never even apply, or who go to two year
colleges first. As we get deeper into the information age, our primary
and high schools are failing us. Who will we have to hire in 10 years?
Thoughts?
