DETAILS: State remediation rate drops; some doubt the data
The report also shows a remediation rate for each high school in the state that had at least six students enroll at an Ohio public college. These rates are not a clear proxy for a high school’s academic performance, as they don’t measure the academics of students who attend private colleges, out-of-state colleges or no college.
This list examines only students who attended Ohio public colleges and universities as freshmen in 2018-19. It shows what percentage of freshmen from each high school took remedial (developmental) math or English.
