Achieving the Dream: Executive Summary

Austin Community College (ACC) District joined Achieving the Dream (AtD) in 2009 as part of the college’s Student Success Initiative. Achieving the Dream promotes a culture of data‐informed decision making and requires institutional tracking of students across time with the goal of increasing successful student outcomes. Achieving the Dream focuses specifically on five key metrics:

successful course completion, completion of a developmental education sequence and progression into first‐level credit bearing courses,

gateway course completion in first‐level Math and English courses, persistence across semesters, and graduation.

This report provides an analysis of student outcomes on these five key metrics for first‐time in college (FTIC) students beginning at Austin Community College in the fall semester (2006 through 2011). The report presents a synopsis of student background characteristics for each fall cohort and then compares student outcomes for each metric by ethnicity, gender, Pell status, and age. The goal is to illuminate areas for improvement, to encourage courageous conversations, and to improve outcomes for all students. FTIC Cohort Characteristics

The FTIC cohorts have increased by 43% across from Fall 2006 to Fall 2011, from 4,565 students to 6,510 students.

Hispanic students comprised about 33% of each FTIC cohort and Black students about 9% of each cohort. Males and females were represented equally across the six cohorts. By comparison, Fall 2011 college‐wide enrollment included 27% Hispanic students, 8% Black students, and 56% female students.

Pell recipients in the FTIC cohorts increased from Fall 2006 to Fall 2011, from 23% to 44%.

The percentage of FTIC students referred to developmental education dropped to 39% in Fall 2011, while averaging 46% the previous five years.

Overall FTIC successful completion rates for ENGL 1301 increased from Fall 2006 to Fall 2011, from 54% to 59%.

On average from Fall 2006 to Fall 2010, the successful course completion rates for MATH 1314 (College Algebra) gateway course during the first fall semester were similar for Black (42%), Hispanic (47%), and White (51%) students.

On average, 70% of students in the FTIC cohorts persisted from the first fall semester to the first spring semester. From the first fall to the second fall semester, an average of 48% of students persisted. From the first fall to the third fall semester, an average of 31% of students persisted.

Success Rates for First Fall Course Completions Increased for White Students First fall semester successful course completions increased for White students across the FTIC cohorts from 59% to 65%. Successful course completions rates for Hispanic and Black students varied little across the cohorts, averaging 58% and 50%, respectively. First fall semester successful completion rates for the Math 1332 (College Mathematics) gateway course increased for White students between Fall 2006 and Fall 2011, from 59% to 68%. However, Black students experienced a decrease in success rates (from 58% to 48%), as did Hispanic students (from 53% to 47%), during the same time period. Black Students Were More Likely to Be Referred to Developmental Education In Fall 2011, 55% of Black students were referred to developmental mathematics, compared to 38% of Hispanic students and 29% of white students. A similar pattern emerged for developmental writing and reading. Black students were less likely than White and Hispanic students to be successful in gateway courses their first fall semester. In Fall 2011, 44% of grades in gateway courses received by Black students were “C” or better, compared to 63% of grades for White students and 53% of grades for Hispanic students. Black student success rates for ENGL 1301 (English Composition I) during the first fall semester decreased to their lowest level of 42% in Fall 2011. This contrasted with the overall FTIC cohort increase in successful completion of ENGL 1301from 54% in Fall 2006 to 59% in Fall 2011. A positive trend was observed for both White and Hispanic students. Age Matters in Student Success Students 25 years of age or older are more likely to be mandated into developmental math (about 55%) than younger students (about 35%). In addition, Students over 30 years of age are twice as likely as students under 18 years to be referred to developmental writing. Successful completion rates for first fall semester gateway courses increased for 18 to 24 year olds (from 55% to 59%) but decreased for other age groups, particularly students over age 30 (from 73% to 55%). Student Persistence Increased For All Ethnic Groups The percentage of FTIC students persisting from the Fall to the following Spring semester increased for all students from Cohort 2006 to Cohort 2011. White students, Black students and Hispanic students each had a three percentage point increase in the first fall to first spring persistence rates (from 69% to 72% for White students, from 64% to 67% for Black students, and from 67% to 70% for Hispanic students). Asian students had a five percentage point increase from 77% to 82% in the first fall to first spring persistence rate.

4

On average, across the six cohort years, Hispanic students have had a slightly higher persistence rate from first fall semester to second fall than white students (49% for Hispanic students, 48% for White students). Black students have had the lowest first fall to second fall semester persistence rate, averaging about 39%. Developmental Math Referrals Decreased Across Cohorts Developmental math referrals decreased from 41% of students to 35% across the six cohorts. Developmental reading referrals remained near 17% of students in each cohort. Developmental writing referrals represented about 11% of the students in each cohort. Developmental Sequence Completion Rates Were Higher for Reading than for Math or Writing On average, 56% of the students referred to developmental reading complete a developmental reading course within a year, 55% complete the reading developmental sequence within two years, and about 29% complete English‐1301 within three years. On average, 48% of the students referred to developmental math completed a developmental math course within a year, 24% completed the math developmental sequence within two years, and about 14% completed a math gateway course within three years. On average, 35% of the students referred to developmental writing complete a developmental writing course within a year, 36% complete the writing developmental sequence within two years, and about 24% complete English‐1301 within three years. Program Completions Increased Slightly Across Cohorts Accumulated program completions, including students who have earned an associate degree, certificate, and/or completed the core curriculum, increased across the six cohorts. For the 2008 cohort, 4.1% of students (190 out of 4,859 students) successfully completed a program within three years, up from 3.5% (161 out of 4,565 students) in the 2006 cohort. The 2006 cohort had an 8.5% (387 out of 4,565 students) completion rate after five years. Students in this cohort received 150 associate degrees, 78 certificates, and 159 core completions by 2011. Conclusion Overall, FTIC student persistence across semesters and program completions are increasing. In addition, referrals to developmental education are decreasing. While success rates for Hispanic students frequently followed the positive trends observed for White students, the trends for Black students merit concern. It is possible that more targeted educational interventions are required to enhance the probabilities of success for specific ethnic groups.

NOTES:

The ethnicity “other” category includes students indicating they are Pacific Islander, American Indian / Alaskan Native, or represent two or more ethnic groups. Data on persons of two or more ethnicities were collected beginning in 2010 due to changes in federal reporting requirements. Direct comparability of the data prior to 2010 with the data for 2010 and later years is limited. This is because students who would have been reported in the “other” category in 2010 and later would have been reported in a specific ethnic group in prior years.

Due to the relatively small number of Asian students in the AtD cohorts, comparisons between this ethnic group and others should be interpreted cautiously. In certain breakouts the same caution is given to Black students comparisons.

AtD Longitudinal Cohort Tracking Metric # 2: Completion of Developmental Education Sequence and Progression

into First‐Level “Gateway” Credit Bearing Courses

This report compares the successful completion rates of students relative to completion of developmental education and success in gateway courses in the six Achieving the Dream (AtD) cohorts: Fall 2006, Fall 2007, Fall 2008, Fall 2009, Fall 2010, Fall 2011. These cohorts include all First Time in College (FTIC) students enrolled in the fall semester at ACC. At ACC, gateway courses are those with the highest enrollments and also the highest attrition and failure rates. Results of the analysis indicate that:

The percentage of AtD students who were mandated into developmental education, completed their developmental education sequence, and successfully completed a gateway course, varied across course subjects.

The percentage of students completing a reading gateway course was higher than the percentage for students completing a writing gateway course. Both of these percentages were higher than the percentage for students completing a math gateway course.

AtD Longitudinal Cohort Tracking Metric # 5: Persistence and Graduation This report compares the persistence rates of students and their completions from fall to fall semester at ACC in the Achieving the Dream (AtD) cohorts: Fall 2006, Fall 2007, Fall 2008, Fall 2009. These cohorts include all First Time in College (FTIC) students enrolled in the fall semester at ACC. The AtD cohorts from 2006 through 2009 comprise the baseline data. Interventions implemented during the 2010‐11 year will be assessed and compared to the baseline cohort experiences. Results of the analysis indicate that:

Accumulated program completions, including students who have earned an associate degree, certificate, and/or completed the core curriculum, show an increasing trend across the six cohorts. The 2008 cohort shows 4.1% (190 out of 4,859 students) successfully completing a program within three years, up from 3.5% (161 out of 4,565 students) in the 2006 cohort.

The 2006 cohort had an 8.5% (387 out of 4,565 students) completion rate after five years. After five years, the 2006 cohort had received 150 associate degrees, 78 certificates, and had 159 core completers.

The percentage of AtD cohort students returning for subsequent semesters is very similar across the cohorts.

• Almost half of FTIC students enrolled in the fall return for the following spring semester.

• Almost one‐third of FTIC students enrolled in the fall are enrolled the second fall semester.

• More than one‐fifth of FTIC students enrolled in the fall are enrolled the third fall semester.

• About one‐sixth of FTIC students enrolled in the fall are enrolled the fourth fall semester.
