Expanding Dual Enrollment & Early College High SchoolA Powerful Strategy For Increasing College Success
By Dr. Daniel P. King, Superintendent
2
• Texas ranks low in College Completion. We want to move to the front of the pack!
• Houston Endowment commissioned study shows only 1 in 5 Texas students earn a higher education credential within 11 years after entering 8th grade – or by about age 25.
• Dr. Steve Murdock (Rice University) projects these statistics (and economic outcomes) will only get worse due to changing demographics – unless we do something dramatically different!
THE CHALLENGE
3
Expanding Dual Enrollment and Early College Opportunities
A number of studies (National, State and local) show the transformational power of students taking college classes while in high school.
This includes studies conducted by Jobs for the Future (Boston, MA), the American Institute for Research (Washington, DC), the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, and a number of Community Colleges and Universities in Texas.
A POWERFUL STRATEGY
4
Dual Enrollment Students have Better Education Attainment • High School Graduation rates above State and National
average
• 2x more likely to enroll in college after high school
• 2x more likely to enroll in a four year college
• College persistence rates are 2x higher
DUAL ENROLLMENT
5
Dual Enrollment Students have Better Education Attainment (cont.) • 50% more likely to graduate from college within 6 years after
HS
• 75% more likely to graduate from college
• Positive impact is even more dramatic for minority students, males, low income students, first generation college enrollees, and students with lower GPA’s
DUAL ENROLLMENT
6
• 30% Nationally completed an Associate’s Degree while in high school. A number of Texas Early College High Schools graduated 50-80% of students with Associate Degree
• In Texas 94% of Early College High School students earn college hours in high school compared to less than 10% of all high school students nationally
• Four-year high school graduation rates exceed State and National average
EARLY COLLEGE HS – A GAME CHANGER
7
• Better college outcomes: Enrolling in college after high school, persistence in college, higher GPA, better college graduation rates
• Positive impact for students who enter high school performing below grade level
• Especially powerful for minority students, low-income youth, 1st generation college goers
• Demography does not have to be destiny, we need different strategies

District-wide redesign of the 11th & 12th grades to provide dual enrollment opportunities for all students. All students will participate in a program of study leading to a certificate or college degree.
Redesign of entire high school to install supportive pathways that allow every student a possibility to earn up to 60 college hours or an Associate Degree.
