TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — A new state report says a majority of Kansas public school students aren’t on track to be ready for college based on their scores on standardized English and math tests.

The state Department of Education released a report Tuesday on the statewide results from tests given this spring to 260,000 students from third through 10th grades. It was the first data from revised tests aligned with multistate Common Core academic standards.

On average, 42 percent of students scored well enough on the English tests to be considered on track to be ready for college or a career. On math tests, the figure was 34 percent.

The percentages were lower for 10th graders.

Department officials acknowledged that they’re not pleased with the results but said they expect significant future improvements.
