Education data for Haywood County shows that in the 2022-23 school year, among senior students taking the science portion of the ACT exam in local school districts, about one-quarter were considered ready for college according to state education data. For juniors taking the same test, just over a quarter met college readiness benchmarks according to state education data. In reading, about two-fifths of both seniors and juniors achieved scores indicating college readiness according to state education data. For math results during that year, roughly one-quarter of seniors and slightly more than a quarter of juniors were considered ready for college-level work according to state education data.
The gathering allows municipal leaders an opportunity to share information across jurisdictions but does not involve formal decisions or votes by county commissioners.
