Data Background This report contains descriptive information for local public high school 2016 graduates enrolled at McLennan Community College, both in credit and developmental courses, during the fall 2016 semester. In most cases, the number of high school graduates was obtained from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Web site at http://www.txhighereddata.org/Interactive/HSCollLink.cfm, and the Texas Education Agency Web site at http://ritter.tea.state.tx.us/adhocrpt/. Please note that the data reflect all graduates for the 2016 year, including summer 2016 graduates. The results from this report will be used by MCC to help identify the needs of our local students and are provided to local public high schools as well. The following topics are included in this report: Enrollment Grade performance Gender Pass rates Ethnicity Developmental courses Course load Developmental courses by subject Program Persistence from fall to fall semester Comparisons across schools should be made with caution because of the substantial differences in the number of graduates attending MCC. It is also useful to examine changes across years for a given school. For many of the analyses, the data from the previous graduating year(s) are included.
