Transitioning to College and Work. Part 2: A Study of Potential Enrollment Indicators
Holzman, Brian; Duffy, Horace
Houston Education Research Consortium
This report examined three potential indicators of college enrollment school and district staff might use to identify and support students at risk of not attending college: (1) Chicago: Designed to predict high school graduation; based on earning six course credits--the minimum to advance to the next grade in HISD--and having at most one semester "F" in a core subject (English, math, science, or social studies); (2) Houston Education Research Consortium (HERC): Designed to predict college enrollment; based on having an attendance rate of 90% or higher, having a B-average (80% or higher), and earning at least 0.5 advanced course credits; and (3) State: Designed to predict college enrollment by the Texas Education Agency; based on meeting the benchmark on the English/language arts and mathematics tests. First, the findings suggested the HERC indicator might be the best predictor of college enrollment. Second, ninth-grade was when students were most at risk of not meeting the HERC indicator and fell off-track from college enrollment.
