- Description
-
California postsecondary students are earning degrees at low rates, and degree attainment is even lower for students of color. This report uses cohort data of California Community College students and tracks their progress over six years, modeling how data-driven decision making can increase student success, especially for Latino students, the state’s fastest growing population. While the report describes key findings indicating low completion rates and great racial/ethnic disparities, the authors also present recommendations for improving institutional practices and state policy on data use to track student milestones toward efforts to increase student success.
