The Effects of Accelerated College Credit Programs on Educational Attainment in Rhode Island. Study Snapshot. REL 2021-103
Regional Educational Laboratory Northeast & Islands
This Study Snapshot highlights key findings where the Rhode Island Department of Education, the Rhode Island Office of the Postsecondary Commissioner, and state legislators sought evidence of the effects of state-funded programs for students to earn college credit during high school. Using data on the 2013/14 statewide grade 9 cohort, this quasi-experimental study examined participation in accelerated college credit programs--dual enrollment, concurrent enrollment, and Advanced Placement test-taking--in Rhode Island high schools to understand the programs' effect on the rate of high school completion and postsecondary outcomes.
