Credit Attainment and Remediation: Results from P20WIN for the Graduation Cohort of 2011 Credit Attainment and Remediation: Results from P20WIN for the Graduation Cohort of 2011 During the summer of 2014, three Connecticut state agencies—the Connecticut State Department of Education, the Board of Regents for Higher Education, and the Department of Labor—successfully completed a pilot project and established the Preschool through 20 and Workforce Information Network. In 2015, the University of Connecticut (UConn) joined the effort, adding significantly to the scope of the data and analysis. P20WIN is an unprecedented interagency network that securely links data to gain new insights that can help improve the policies and procedures that affect individuals and students these agencies serve. The results contained herein are from a query of P20WIN data that provides an evaluation of the postsecondary outcomes achieved by the high school graduation cohort of 2011 in Connecticut’s public universities and community colleges. The results are provided in three tables (see appendix): Table 1: Statewide Results by Subgroup Table 2: Results by District Table 3: Results by High School Table 1: Statewide Results by Subgroup Of the more than 37,000 on-time graduates in the 2011 graduation cohort (i.e., first-time freshmen in the fall of 2007), 45.4 percent enrolled in a Connecticut Public University or Community College within 16 months of their high school graduation. Of the students enrolled in Connecticut public universities and community colleges, 59.9 percent earned a year’s worth of college credit (24 credits) within two years of enrollment. Female students were slightly more likely than male students to have enrolled and earned a year’s credit in that time (61.6 percent as compared with 58.1 percent). While black and Hispanic students were more likely to enroll in Connecticut public universities and community colleges than their white or Asian student peers, they earned credits at a significantly lower rate (45.8 and 48.9 percent, respectively) than white (64.6 percent) or Asian (72.6 percent) students. Fifty-three percent of English Learners and 40.4 percent of students with disabilities earned a year’s credit in two years, significantly lower than overall rate of 59.9 percent. While students eligible for free or reduced price meals were more likely to attend Connecticut public universities and community colleges than those not eligible for free or reduced price meals, they too earned college credit at significantly lower rates (48.0 percent) than students who were ineligible (65.9 percent). The enrollment and credit-earning data included UConn, all Connecticut community colleges, and the four Connecticut state universities. However, UConn does not collect data on remediation, and is thus is not included in the numerator or denominator in the remediation statistics. Overall, 46.4 percent of the students from the 2011 graduating cohort who enrolled in Connecticut community colleges or the four Connecticut state universities participated in at least one remediation course. Male students were less likely to have been enrolled in remedial coursework than female students (44.3 percent as compared with 48.2 percent). Black and Hispanic students were enrolled in remedial coursework at a significantly higher rate (64.4 and 64.7 percent respectively) than white (37.5 percent) or Asian (44.9 percent) students. Over 70 percent of English learners enrolled in some remedial coursework. High rates of participation in remedial coursework were also evidenced among students with disabilities (71.5 percent) and students eligible for free or reduced price meals (62.5 percent). The percent of students from the 2011 graduation cohort who participated in at least one remediation course (46.4 percent) was lower than that of the 2010 graduation cohort (48 percent). The remediation rate for the 2011 graduation cohort was lower for almost all student subgroups including males, females, black students, Hispanic students, white students, English learners, students with disabilities, and students eligible for free or reduced price meals. Tables 2 and 3: Results by District and School Tables 2 and 3 provide enrollment, credit earning, and remediation by district and high school respectively. Although students may have changed schools or districts during their high school career, their results are attributed to the high school from which they graduated. The results show significant variation in all the measures. The district-level data show that the rate of enrollment in Connecticut public universities and community colleges ranged from 10.2 in Darien to 69.7 percent in Bethel. Credit-earning rates at Connecticut public universities and community colleges exhibited considerable variation, ranging from 37.0 percent in New Haven to 83.8 percent in East Haddam. Half of districts had credit-earning rates above 64.9 percent. Additionally, remediation rates varied quite significantly across districts as well, ranging from a low of 10.4 percent in Bethel to 71.2 percent in Bloomfield. Fifty percent of schools had more than a 40.6 percent remediation rate. The school-level data show that the rate of enrollment at Connecticut public universities and community colleges ranged from 10.2 percent to over 95 percent across high schools. Credit-earning rates at Connecticut public universities and community colleges also exhibited considerable variation among high schools, ranging from less than 5 percent to 83.7 percent. Remediation rates varied quite significantly across schools as well, ranging from a low of 10.2 percent to a high of greater than 95 percent. Fifty percent of schools had more than a 45.4 percent remediation rate. ------- x -------- Credit Attainment and Remediation: Results from P20WIN for the Graduation Cohort of 2011 Page 2 of 17 Credit Attainment and Remediation: Results from P20WIN for the Graduation Cohort of 2011 Page 3 of 17 Appendix Credit Attainment and Remediation: Results from P20WIN for the Graduation Cohort of 2011 Page 4 of 17 Table 1: Credit Attainment and Remediation by Subgroup Graduating Cohort 2011 Credit-Attainment at All State Remediation at Connecticut Public Universities and Community State University System and Colleges Community Colleges Percent Percent Percent Participating in Percent Earning 24 Subgroup Enrolled in 16 Enrolled in at Least One Credits months 16 months Remediation Course Gender Female 47.6% 61.6% 39.6% 48.2% Male 43.2% 58.1% 35.0% 44.3% Race/Ethnicity American Indian or Alaska Native * * * * Asian 53.5% 72.6% 30.0% 44.9% Black or African American 52.7% 45.8% 48.2% 64.4% Hispanic/Latino of any race 50.1% 48.9% 45.2% 64.7% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific * * * * Two or More Races 49.4% 51.6% 40.1% 41.4% White 42.8% 64.6% 34.3% 37.5% English Learners No 45.3% 60.2% 37.0% 45.3% Yes 48.9% 53.0% 45.4% 70.5% Special Education Status No 46.1% 61.8% 37.2% 43.6% Yes 39.6% 40.4% 38.2% 71.5% Free/Reduced Price Meal Eligible No 43.5% 65.9% 34.0% 37.1% Yes 49.9% 48.0% 45.1% 62.5% State Total 45.4% 59.9% 37.3% 46.4% Source: P20WIN data and SDE calculations * Data suppressed to protect confidentiality Credit Attainment and Remediation: Results from P20WIN for the Graduation Cohort of 2011 Page 5 of 17 Table 2: Credit Attainment and Remediation by District Graduating Cohort 2011 Credit-Attainment at All Remediation at Connecticut State Public Universities State University System and and Community Colleges Community Colleges Percent Percent Percent Percent Participating in District Earning District Name Enrolled in 16 Enrolled in at Least One Code 24 months 16 months Remediation Credits Course 0020011 Ansonia School District 40.0% 65.4% 36.2% 57.4% 0040011 Avon School District 32.1% 64.1% 20.6% 32.0% 0070011 Berlin School District 49.6% 69.4% 38.1% 38.7% 0090011 Bethel School District 69.7% 37.9% 66.7% 10.4% 0110011 Bloomfield School District 52.5% 56.2% 42.4% 71.2% 0120011 Bolton School District 55.9% 57.9% 45.6% 25.8% 0140011 Branford School District 41.3% 61.7% 30.5% 57.0% 0150011 Bridgeport School District 52.7% 41.8% 47.6% 69.7% 0170011 Bristol School District 53.7% 63.9% 45.9% 51.8% 0180011 Brookfield School District 44.8% 72.3% 33.6% 21.4% 0230011 Canton School District 33.0% 64.9% 24.1% 33.3% 0250011 Cheshire School District 46.1% 69.5% 33.7% 34.2% 0270011 Clinton School District 45.9% 59.0% 38.3% 31.4% 0280011 Colchester School District 56.1% 69.8% 46.1% 40.6% 0320011 Coventry School District 48.9% 65.7% 43.1% 33.9% 0330011 Cromwell School District 57.9% 53.3% 49.1% 38.5% 0340011 Danbury School District 55.8% 64.2% 48.9% 39.8% 0350011 Darien School District 10.2% 65.6% 8.6% 14.8% 0370011 Derby School District 44.8% 69.2% 40.2% 48.6% 0400011 East Granby School District 37.0% 51.9% 30.1% * 0410011 East Haddam School District 43.0% 83.8% 33.7% 27.6% 0420011 East Hampton School District 55.1% 67.1% 45.7% 41.4% 0430011 East Hartford School District 47.6% 54.7% 40.0% 54.5% 0440011 East Haven School District 48.1% 58.9% 44.6% 57.4% 0450011 East Lyme School District 43.6% 72.8% 26.3% 32.9% 0470011 East Windsor School District 51.3% 74.4% 46.1% 42.9% 0480011 Ellington School District 56.1% 63.5% 49.7% 17.6% 0490011 Enfield School District 59.6% 49.2% 54.9% 40.6% Credit Attainment and Remediation: Results from P20WIN for the Graduation Cohort of 2011 Page 6 of 17 Credit-Attainment at All Remediation at Connecticut State Public Universities State University System and and Community Colleges Community Colleges Percent Percent Percent Percent Participating in District Earning District Name Enrolled in 16 Enrolled in

  • The Prevalence and Impact of School Resource Officers in Connecticut Appendix A
    Policing Connecticut’s Hallways: The Prevalence and Impact of School Resource Officers in Connecticut Appendix A In this appendix, we describe in greater detail the statistical analyses and results used in our report. Data Sources The data used in this report come from three sources: the 2015-2016 and 2013-2014 United States Department of Education Office of Civil Rights Data Collection (CRDC), the 2015-2016 school year reporting from the Connecticut State Department of Education data reporting tool “EdSight,”1 and District Reference Groups (DRG) designations that group school districts according to similar community characteristics and resources. We used the 2015 SDE DRG designations.2 Our data set included data from charter schools where possible, but we should note that charter schools are their own district so any analyses where we look at District Reference Groups do not include charter schools. The CRDC is a federally mandated reporting of school-level data regarding educational access for protected classes of students (gender, race/ethnicity, nationality, disability status, etc.). All public schools (PreK-12) in the country are required to report to the federal government on issues such as the use of exclusionary discipline, teacher experience, and enrollment in advanced courses. EdSight is a state repository of school-, state-, and district-level education data taken from all school districts in Connecticut. The authors of this paper acknowledge that the data in this study are now two years out of date. Because there is no central public reporting of the presence of SROs in CT, data on which schools employ SROs are most available and accessible through the CRDC website, but the last available year of data available through this data set is School Year (SY) 2015-2016.

  • State Department of Education Announces High School AYP
    NEWS Connecticut Department of Education Dr. Betty J. Sternberg, Commissioner EMBARGOED September 7, 2005 State Department of Education Announces High School AYP (Hartford, Connecticut) – Seventy-two percent (130 out of 181) of Connecticut’s high schools achieved the standards for adequate yearly progress (AYP) under the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act based on performance on the 2005 Connecticut Academic Performance Test (CAPT). This year, high schools had to reach a higher benchmark in the percentage of students scoring at or above proficient than in previous years. For the last three years, at least 59 percent of the students tested needed to score at or above proficient in mathematics and 62 percent needed to score at or above proficient in reading. This year, high schools had to meet the following standards: o 69 percent of students must be proficient in mathematics; o 72 percent must be proficient in reading; o 70 percent of students graduate; and o 95 percent must participate in CAPT testing. Under NCLB regulations, the targets at or above proficient must increase at intervals until 2014, when 100 percent of all students are expected to be proficient. The graduation rate and participation rate requirements will remain constant. “While the standard went up 10 percentage points in each subject, the overall impact on the number of schools that did not meet AYP was minimal,” said Commissioner of Education Betty J. Sternberg. “While this is good news, we must sustain our collective efforts to help schools not making AYP and ensure that all students achieve at high levels.” A total of 51 high schools did not make AYP.
