CHICAGO (CBS) -- A new study is raising concerns about how prepared Chicago Public School students are for college.

According to a new study from the University of Chicago, just 30% percent of CPS graduates from 2015 finished their degree in four years.

While it's an improvement from years past it is still well below the national average of 47%.

The six-year completion rate jumps to 51%.

The report found young Black men were least likely to finish in four years. White and Asian Americans had the highest completion rates.
