Preparation

Measuring Up (2008) gives Idaho a “C” grade in the preparation of students for postsecondary education.

According to this bi-annual national report,  “Idaho’s fairly low performance in educating its young population could limit the state’s access to a competitive workforce and weaken its economy. ”

Idaho’s profile on the Measuring Up 2008 Report states that  the likelihood of Idaho students enrolling in college by age 19 is low — and has dropped by 9% since the early 1990s.
