College in high school programs work—but only if students can access them.

Students who participate in dual enrollment programs (also known as concurrent enrollment, college in high school, or early college programs) are more likely to graduate high school, enroll in college, and successfully complete a degree or credential. Moreover, students from low-income families, students of color, first-generation college students, and other populations of students who are underrepresented in higher education experience the largest positive impacts from these programs.

However, existing national and state data also shows consistent equity gaps when it comes students’ ability to access these programs.

Data is critical to understanding which groups of students are missing from these programs and where state leaders can target policy solutions to improve student access and success. To do this, states, school districts, and colleges must collect, publicly report, and use data on participation and success in dual enrollment opportunities.

Our new resource ([link removed]) —developed in partnership with the College in High School Alliance—is designed to help states understand what data they should collect and report, and how that data can be used to close equity gaps and improve student outcomes in dual enrollment programs.
