In Florida, community colleges are required to report their entry-level basic skills testing results to the public school system in their service area. Miami-Dade Community College (M-DCC) has been reporting that approximately 60% of Dade County Public School (DCPS) graduates cannot pass basic skills tests in math, writing, and reading. DCPS has replied, however, that M-DCC mainly enrolls students who never planned to attend college and therefore did not follow the college track in high school. They felt their college-prepared students were attending universities and therefore not part of M-DCC's sample. Recently, however, university and community college data have been combined for each district. Results show that 46% of Dade County graduates scored above the cut in all areas compared to 63% of graduates statewide. Students had the most difficulty passing the mathematics test and found the reading and writing tests about equally difficult. Of students taking entry-level placement tests at M-DCC, 36% were ready for college in all areas, 10 percentage points below that for the school system as a whole. Statewide, less than half of the Black and Hispanic high school graduates passed the three basic skills tests compared to 70% of White non-Hispanic and Asian graduates. The largest statewide difference for males and females was a four percentage point spread in math, with males passing at a higher rate. (AC)
