Data Show High Educational Aspirations for Native Americans

The vast majority of Native American students (86 percent) say that they want a postsecondary education, but most are not well prepared in high school to succeed in college, according to a new report from ACT. The report, "The Condition of College and Career Readiness 2013: American Indian Students," found that a majority of the Native American students who took the ACT did not meet any of the four benchmarks the organization has set (based on taking rigorous college preparatory courses in various subject areas) as indicating likely success in college.
