Abstract
College readiness in mathematics is vital to obtaining a college education. Many students are graduating high school without the math skills necessary to enter into college level, credit-bearing courses, and this has become a national dilemma. The purpose of this study was to evaluate college readiness in mathematics. The participants in this study consisted of 162 students from three years (2010 – 2012) of Mountain Valley High School graduates. Participants were contacted individually via Facebook, a social media network, and provided a link to an online survey, which they were asked to complete voluntarily.
