What Did We Find - Challenges Homogenous population High levels of poverty High number of first generation college students High levels of math dual placement Loss of college-ready & high performing students Significant loss of at-risk students fall-to-fall Significant loss of Dev Ed math students who failed to complete any math during the first year
What Did We Find - Opportunities IPEDS three-year cohort graduation rate that approximates 50% Fall-to-fall retention of approximately 50% Dev Ed completion rates (C or better) that ranged from 70-85% Strong Dev Ed completion rates in the first college- level course Mandatory testing, placement, orientation, and first year experience course
