Using High School Data to Predict College Success in Palau. Study Snapshot. REL 2021-059
Regional Educational Laboratory Pacific
To support efforts to improve students' college readiness and success, leaders at the Palau Ministry of Education and Palau Community College want to understand the experiences and background of Palau High School graduates who are better prepared for Palau Community College. This study identified the Palau High School academic preparation variables (such as high school grade point average and achievement in high school English language arts and math courses) that predict success at Palau Community College, as measured by three outcomes: earning a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher in the first year of college, persisting to a second year of college, and completing an associate degree or certificate within three years. This study provides new evidence on high school academic preparation variables that predict community college success and is expected to support the Palau Ministry of Education and Palau Community College in their strategic planning to ensure that public high school graduates are college and career ready.
