Part 2: College Readiness and Iowa Students Figure 1 shows the percentage of examinees that met or exceeded the college readiness benchmark score on each of the four Iowa Assessment tests. Figures 2-9 show the percentage of examinees grouped by gender, FRL, and race that met or exceeded the college readiness benchmark score on each of the four Iowa Assessment tests. Figures 10-11 show the percentage of examinees grouped by gender, FRL, and race that met or exceeded the college readiness benchmark scores on all four of the Iowa Assessment tests. Grade 11 students of ethnicities other than those represented in these results also took the Iowa Assessments (e.g., those of Native American background). However, the numbers of those students were too small to report their performance as a group.
