Indiana’s Education Pipeline
Postsecondary Preparation
• A quarter of all recent Indiana high school
graduates need remediation when they
enter a public college.
• More than two-thirds of Indiana’s
community college students require
remediation.
• Less than 10 percent of Hoosier college
students who are placed in remedial
courses graduate on time.
The Importance of Academic Rigor
• A rigorous high school academic curriculum is the singlemost significant factor determining a student’s success in
college
• Rigorous academic preparation now wanted by employers,
colleges, apprenticeship programs, and the military
• Careers for students without rigorous preparation are
becoming fewer
• Students taking remediation in college are at a greater risk
of dropping out
• The more education a student receives after high school,
the better chance for increasing earnings and job security


For determining if a student should go to chemistry after biology the math grade is more important than the science grade; math is also the key in choosing bet physics R, CP and H

If a student fails a CP course they should retake it as regular
Physical/Life science(aka Science fundamentals) is NOT a core 40 course and will not count as one of the three courses required for core40 diplom
