MEMORANDUM
TO:

Legislative Oversight Commission on Education Accountability

FROM:

Carolyn Long
Sarah A. Tucker

DATE:

November 29, 2018

RE:

2018 Academic Readiness Report

Each year, the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission (Commission) and the West
Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education (Council) are required by West
Virginia Code §18B-1-1e to update the Legislature on how prepared West Virginia’s high school
students are for college. The 2018 Academic Readiness Report is attached.
As required, the report provides the number of graduates from our public high schools who were
accepted to a West Virginia public college or university program in the last calendar year, but were
below the minimum expected levels of college academic preparedness, as defined by the
institutions. This information is organized by area of academic deficiency, college or university
and the county and high school from which the students graduated.
The Commission and the Council are committed to working with the West Virginia Department
of Education to jointly address our high school students’ preparedness for postsecondary
education. While we are making tremendous progress in addressing student developmental
education once they reach our colleges and universities, we must double our efforts to work
together with K-12 to identify areas for improvement before they graduate.
This report focuses on student preparation and college success indicators relative to the critical
transition period from high school to college. The data reported are for students who graduated
from West Virginia high schools and went on to attend two-year and four-year public institutions
in the state during the fall semester after high school graduation.
This report shows data for the 2017 cohort of West Virginia freshmen on the state level as well as
at each postsecondary institution. The following sets of data are used to define academic
preparedness:
Student ACT scores
First semester performance at a postsecondary institution
123

 Enrollment in developmental education
While students have a choice to complete the ACT or SAT for postsecondary admission, 91 percent
of 2017 high school graduates who continued their education at a public postsecondary institution
completed the ACT.
Developmental education is specialized coursework for students who cannot meet college entry
standards in mathematics, reading or English. Most of our schools use ACT scores or Accuplacer
scores to determine whether a student needs to be placed in a developmental education course.
Developmental education provides additional instruction in the form of standalone developmental
coursework, boot camps or co-requisite courses (courses for which students earn college-level
credit) to help bring students up to speed in college-level coursework.
While West Virginia overall ACT scores are down in 2017, fewer students were enrolled in
developmental education courses at our public higher education institutions. However, many
challenges to college academic preparedness remain.
Our report includes comparisons to the same datasets for 2016 and 2015. Key findings include:
The average ACT scores of 2017 West Virginia high school graduates was 21.5, which is
very slightly down from the 2016 average of 21.6.
38.5 percent of West Virginia high school graduates scored at or above the ACT Math
Benchmark. That was a decline from the 40.2 percent in 2016.
74 percent of high school achieved the ACT English Benchmark, which was a slight
decline from the 2016 value of 76.3 percent.
43.3 percent of high school graduates who enrolled in a two-year or a four-year institution
scored at or above the ACT Science Benchmark, down from 44.3 percent in 2016.
In 2017, 27.8 percent of high school graduates performed at or above the benchmark across
all ACT subsections, down from 29.4 percent in 2016.
23 high schools had a higher number of students enrolling in public postsecondary
education and higher average ACT scores in 2017, in comparison to 2016. Nine high
schools enrolled 10 or more additional students in 2017 in comparison to last year.
Seven counties recorded higher enrollment at public postsecondary institutions and higher
average ACT scores.
Calhoun, Gilmer, and Tucker counties had the highest one-year average ACT score
increases between 2016 and 2017.
High school GPA is still a strong indicator of college success. Students with high school
GPA of 2.99 or lower achieved lower first semester college GPA in comparison to those
who had high school GPA of 3.0 or above. The same pattern was observed for students
124

 attending both two-year public postsecondary institutions as well as students enrolling at
four-year public institutions.
26.3 percent of 2017 West Virginia high school graduates enrolled in some form of
developmental education in math, English, or reading. This was a decrease from 30.8
percent in 2016.
There was a slight increase in enrollment in developmental English (from 14.9 percent to
15.4 percent) and a decrease in enrollment in developmental mathematics (from 26.0
percent to 20.3 percent).
Calhoun, Grant, and Mineral counties saw the largest decrease in the proportion of students
enrolling in developmental education from 2016 to 2017.

*In an effort to protect student privacy and balance reporting needs, data have been suppressed in two situations.
Private high schools were excluded from county totals and reported in aggregate in the summary total. Many
private high schools have low student counts that require most data to be censored. Further, low cell sizes for public
high schools have been suppressed in conjunction with county totals when necessary.

* Developmental Education includes stand-alone developmental coursework, boot camps or
other forms of developmental instruction as well as co-requisite coursework. It does not include
college level courses taught over two semesters, specifically designed for underprepared
students. Enrollment in developmental education is captured as of fall and spring semester of the
student first year. Students taking developmental education at an institution other than their
cohort institution are included.

*In an effort to protect student privacy and balance reporting needs, data have been suppressed in two situations.
Private high schools were excluded from county totals and reported in aggregate in the summary total. Many private
high schools have low student counts that require most data to be censored. Further, low cell sizes for public high
schools have been suppressed in conjunction with county totals when necessary.
