The state of New York is excelling in preparing its high .school students for college, but failing at making college in the state affordable, according to a 10-year study released Sept. 15. The National Center for Public Policy and High­ er Education issued its decade-long analysis of high­ er education progress, and New York's grades were for the most part sub-par. ✓ The analysis, titled "Measuring Up 2004," is a state-by-state report card that looks at whether states have improved over the past 10 years in getting their residents through college. Based on six categories, the analysis tracked states' preparation, participation, affordability, completion, benefits and learning be­ tween 1992 and 2002.
