• In New York State, 74% of high school students graduate, but only 35% are prepared for college (which is why a discussion of education reform is in GUIDE).
• By law in New York, before 2009, student results could not be discussed when evaluating teacher performance at the K-12 level.
• In Newark, K-12 spending of more than $20,000 per student produces a prospective college graduation rate of less than 10%.
• Of Americans 25-34, 43% have college degrees, compared with 64% in South Korea.
• The college graduation rate for students in high income households, compared with a generation ago, has risen—that of lower income students is virtually flat.
