According to this Washington Post article: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/answer-sheet/no-child-left-behind/what-is-being-college-and-care.html, only 23% of college students do not remediation. The article quotes an ACT spokeswoman "Readiness for college means not needing to take remedial courses."
High schools and society would do well to focus on college and career readiness in addition to graduation rates. While there is no high school exit exam, only 60% of high school graduates could pass the GED (according to the GED).
