In the US is the high school graduate smarter now than compared to those from the 1980s since some people are saying that society is getting dumber?

my elders are telling me there are more students having to take remedial classes in college and that in school back in their days, they were taught more things. they say that a hs diploma was the equvalent of a modern associate degree. teachers, how true is this?
