Only 4 percent of black students met the college-readiness standards for all four subjects, compared to 31 percent for whites, 15 percent for Pacific Islanders, and 11 percent for Hispanics and American Indians. None of the benchmarks were met by at least 50 percent of each of those groups.

By contrast, 41 percent of Asian Americans topped the preparedness standards in all four subjects, with more than 70 percent exceeding the marks in English and math.
