SAT scores for the high-school graduating class of 2011 fell in all three subject areas, and the average reading and writing scores were the lowest ever recorded, according to data released on Wednesday.
The results from the college-entrance exam, taken by about 1.6 million students, also revealed that only 43% of students posted a score high enough to indicate they were ready to succeed in college, according to the College Board, the nonprofit that administers the exam.
This is not good news for the U.S. competing in the global market place. Let alone for employers hiring individuals that have the necessary skill-sets to compete in the international environment. I highly doubt that students will do any better in college than what they have done in high school.
