  • Effects on College Outcomes by Race/Ethnicity and Course Modality
    High School Dual Enrollment in Florida: Effects on College Outcomes by Race/Ethnicity and Course Modality Summary Research Report Vivian Yuen Ting Liu CCRC Veronica Minaya CCRC Qing Zhang University of California, Irvine Di Xu University of California, Irvine October 2020 Address correspondence to: Vivian Yuen Ting Liu Postdoctoral Research Associate Community College Research Center Teachers College, Columbia University 525 W. 120th St., Box 174 New York, NY 10027 212-678-3091 Email: [email protected] Funding for this study was provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The findings and conclusions contained within are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect positions or policies of the foundation. Abstract This report presents findings on the relationship between taking community college dual enrollment courses—in which high school students earn high school and college credits simultaneously—and college outcomes among Florida public high school students. It analyses dual enrollment course-taking by racial/ethnic group (Black, Hispanic, White) and course modality (face-to-face on-college-campus, face-to-face off- campus, and online). The report includes (1) a descriptive analysis of the demographic characteristics and outcomes of dual enrollment participants and (2) multivariate regression analyses of the associations between dual enrollment participation and college outcomes, controlling for a rich set of student and school characteristics. The analyses use transcript-level unit record data on two cohorts of Florida students who started public high school in 2007 and 2012 and were tracked through high school and into Florida state colleges (community colleges) and universities. We find that Florida high school students who took dual enrollment courses were more likely to be White, female, and from more affluent backgrounds than those who did not take dual enrollment courses.

  • High School Dual Enrollment Effects on College Outcomes by Race/Ethnicity and Course Modality
    High School Dual Enrollment Effects on College Outcomes by Race/Ethnicity and Course Modality A CCRC study of dual enrollment in Florida finds that while there are substantial participation gaps by race/ethnicity, Black, Hispanic, and White high school students all appear to benefit from taking dual enrollment courses. The vast majority of dual enrollment students enroll in such courses through community colleges, and most students take dual enrollment courses face-to-face on a college campus or face-to-face off-campus, though some students (about 9%) take the courses primarily online. Using descriptive and multivariable regression analysis, CCRC researchers examined the college outcomes of Florida public high school students (who were 9th graders in 2007 and 2012) who did and did not take dual enrollment courses. Although the researchers controlled for a rich set of student and school characteristics, their analysis does not allow for causal inferences. Key Findings Participation Rates PARTICIPATION Dual enrollment students were substantially more likely to be White and female and to not participate in free or reduced- price lunch (FRPL) than students who did not participate in dual enrollment. COLLEGE OUTCOMES Taking dual enrollment courses is positively associated with better college outcomes—including immediate college enrollment and degree completion— across all three racial/ethnic groups. However, White dual enrollment students were more likely to attend both community colleges (called state colleges in Florida) and state universities than their White non-dual enrollment peers, whereas Black and Hispanic dual enrollment students were more likely to attend only state universities compared with their non-dual enrollment peers.

  • Texas Senate
    This was certainly an election like no other before it. More than a million Texans showed up at the polls (with masks and hand sanitizer) to cast their ballots, while an unknown number chose to put their ballot in the mail. Mail-in ballots are not all counted and included in the election day totals, so it is possible that the outcome of a few races may still be subject to change. Even so, for the most part, we know which names will appear on the ballot in November. Knowing who will show up to vote and who will receive the most votes in November is an entirely different matter. Voter turnout was higher among democratic voters, but that may or may not be indicative of Texas turning blue because there was a statewide runoff race for that party’s nomination for the US Senate. That means that democrats had a reason to vote statewide, while republican voters in many areas of the state didn’t have a runoff race on ballot at all. No incumbent member of the Texas Legislature lost their seat in March, but of the six incumbents facing challenges in this runoff election, only two survived. Even so, four is still a lower turnover rate than we have seen in previous election cycles. That coupled with fewer retirements could mean less turnover in the Texas Legislature overall…unless voters have something different to say about that in November. Texas Senate There were two runoff races for seats in the Texas Senate and one special election. Senator Eddie Lucio (D- Brownsville) won his election to keep his seat.
