Pre-College (Remedial) Course Taking by Recent High School Graduates who Attend Washington Community and Technical Colleges. System Summary Updated for the High School Graduating Class of 2004, Enrolled in College in 2004-05. Research Report No. 06-1
Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges
This report provides information on three enrollment trends (key findings) as required by RCW 28B.10.685. This system summary highlights the high school graduates who attended a community or technical college in the year following graduation (Part A and B). Part C provides information on the students who delayed enrollment at the college for one or two years after high school graduation. Part D describes the expenditures for Pre-College courses and college-level expectations regarding math and English. The three key findings are: (1) Fifty-four (54) percent of community and technical college students who graduated from high school in 2004 took pre-college (also known as remedial) classes in 2004-05. These students -- totaling 13,098 -- enrolled in pre-college math, English or reading. (2) Forty-seven (47) percent of community and technical college students who graduated from high school in 2004 took pre-college math courses. (3) Within three years of high school graduation, about half (47 to 49 percent) of all high school graduates have enrolled at a community or technical college in Washington. Each year about 37 to 39 percent of high school graduates enroll immediately in community and technical colleges, and an additional 10 percent enroll within one or two years after high school graduation.
