Zachry Rutschow, Elizabeth – Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness, 2018
Many students enter community college underprepared in math and must take multiple semesters of developmental (remedial) classes. Far too few of these students ever enroll in -- let alone pass -- an introductory college-level math course, but without those credits, they cannot graduate. Among the many reforms practitioners are undertaking to try…

Rutschow, Elizabeth Zachry; Diamond, John; Serna-Wallender, Elena – Center for the Analysis of Postsecondary Readiness, 2017
Until recently, most colleges required students to pass a college-level algebra course in order to earn a degree. As many as 50 percent to 70 percent of community college students enter college unprepared to take these courses, and fewer than 20 percent of such students ever successfully complete a college-level math course; the rest are…
