  • IPEDS Data Feedback Report 2017
    NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS What Is IPEDS? The Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) is a system of survey components that collects data from about 7,000 institutions that provide postsecondary education across the United States. IPEDS collects institution-level data on student enrollment, graduation rates, student charges, program completions, faculty, staff, and finances. These data are used at the federal and state level for policy analysis and development; at the institutional level for benchmarking and peer analysis; and by students and parents, through the College Navigator (http://collegenavigator.ed.gov), an online tool to aid in the college search process. For more information about IPEDS, see http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds. What Is the Purpose of This Report? The Data Feedback Report is intended to provide institutions a context for examining the data they submitted to IPEDS. The purpose of this report is to provide institutional executives a useful resource and to help improve the quality and comparability of IPEDS data. What Is in This Report? As suggested by the IPEDS Technical Review Panel, the figures in this report provide selected indicators for your institution and a comparison group of institutions. The figures are based on data collected during the 2016-17 IPEDS collection cycle and are the most recent data available. This report provides a list of pre-selected comparison group institutions and the criteria used for their selection. Additional information about these indicators and the pre- selected comparison group are provided in the Methodological Notes at the end of the report. Where Can I Do More with IPEDS Data? Each institution can access previous Data Feedback Reports as far back as 2005 and customize this latest report by using a different comparison group and IPEDS variables of its choosing.

  • November 2, 2020 It Is the Day Before the General
    November 2, 2020 It is the day before the general election and millions of Americans are exercising their fundamental right to choose the next president of the United States. People are also casting their ballots for many other candidates at the federal, state and local levels. This has perhaps been one of the most contentious election seasons in our nation’s history, with great significance for our country. Regardless of the outcomes, important work remains to be done. The underlying issues that created persistent inequities, disparities and unrest in our country will remain if we, as Americans, become complacent after this election. Black Lives Matter — today and every day, and through all election cycles. Our colleges will continue to tackle systemic racism and dismantle institutional barriers for students of color. All students deserve to accomplish the dreams that brought them to our doors. We are proud to be part of the fabric of our local communities, home to people from all walks of life, belief systems, origins and identities. Diversity in all its forms is our nation’s greatest asset. As higher education institutions, we will continue to advance critical thinking, foster courageous conversations, and provide a platform for communities to learn from, and about, one another. Community and technical colleges are, after all, democracy’s colleges. We were built from the idea that people from all backgrounds and incomes should have the right to higher education. We were created in the knowledge that education empowers people, builds better lives and creates stronger communities. Our students are the key to building a bright future for America, with a stronger and more inclusive economy.

  • Advanced Placement & College in the High School Information & Course Offerings
    Advanced Placement & College in the High School Information & Course Offerings Bothell High School is proud to offer a wide variety of advanced courses for our students. Our Advanced Placement (AP) and College in the High School (CHS) courses offer BHS students the opportunity to take rigorous courses and earn college credit. AP is a nationally recognized and standardized program created by the College Board offering college-level curriculum in the high school. AP classes attract and challenge highly motivated students wishing to excel academically in the high school setting with the support of AP trained high school teachers. Students enrolled in AP courses are encouraged to take the AP exam(s) in May for the course(s) in which they are enrolled. AP exam fees are $104 per exam, or free for students who qualify. Students who score well on these exams may use AP scores to earn college credit and advanced standing at their future college. CHS is a dual enrollment program between Bothell High School and local colleges offering students direct access to earn college credit by performing well in CHS courses. Taught by BHS teachers at BHS, CHS courses offer students an opportunity to jump ahead academically by earning college credit while they are meeting their high school graduation requirements. Students pay a significantly discounted tuition rate for their college credit. Bothell students receive their CHS course credits through Bellevue College, Cascadia College, Edmonds Community College and the University of Washington (Seattle). After students graduate from BHS, they send their CHS college transcripts showing the credits they earned while in high school to their future college to transfer their credits.
