| Summary: | Discusses role and trend information on developmental or remedial education for recent high school graduates attending Washington community and technical colleges. More specifically, it provides information on high school graduates who attended a community or technical college in the year following graduation. Also provides separate information on students who attended the college within one or two years after high school graduation. Some key findings include: (1) The proportion of high school graduates new to the community and technical colleges prepared to do college level work was larger in 2001-02 than in previous years. Of the new students, 46% enrolled in college level courses only in their first year compare to 44% in the prior two years. (2) A substantial proportion of graduates enroll in pre-college developmental math, English or reading. In their first year after high school, 10,204 graduates (54%) enrolled in one or more of these developmental classes. And (3) community and technical colleges continue to be the choice for a substantial proportion of high school graduates with 31% of graduates coming straight to college and an additional 16% attending for the first time one or two years after high school graduation. Within three years of graduation, 47% have enrolled at community or technical college in Washington. (JS) |
