Comprehensive Arkansas Higher Education Annual Report Comprehensive Arkansas Higher Education Annual Report December 1, 2012 College-Going Rate Arkansas Department of Higher Education 114 East Capitol, Little Rock, Arkansas 72201 2012 Annual Comprehensive Report Page 4.10.1 Agenda Item No. 1 Higher Education Coordinating Board July 27, 2012 Report on the College-Going Rate of Public School Graduates ________________________ Attachment 1-A College-Going Rate by Institution Attachment 1-B College-Going Rate History Attachment 1-C NCES (National Center for Education Statistics) Table 209 Report Attachment 1-D College-Going Rate by Race/Ethnicity and Gender Attachment 1-E College-Going Rate by County Attachment 1-F College-Going Rate by High School District Attachment 1-G Recently Graduated Public High School Students: Where They Attend College The college-going rate measures the proportion of students enrolling in postsecondary education in the fall semester after finishing high school, in most cases, immediately after high school. Since most students enrolling in postsecondary education do so immediately after completing high school, the college-going rate is an indicator of the total proportion that will or did enroll in postsecondary education. The percentage, therefore, reflects the accessibility of higher education as well as students’ assessment of the value of attending college when compared to working, entering the military, traveling, or following other pursuits. New Methodology: This report reflects a new methodology. The new methodology began with the 2010 Fall College-Going Rate report (last year). This new methodology focuses on students that (1) graduated from an Arkansas public school district in Academic Year 2010-2011, (2) are first-time entering students in the 2011 Fall term, and (3) are Arkansas residents. This new methodology more closely follows that used by the National Center for Education Statistics (NECS). However, there are three differences: (a) NECS filters by the age range of 16-24 – ADHE ignores age but focuses on high school graduates from the previous year as most all high school graduates are between the ages of 16 and 24; (b) NCES includes GED students as their report is based on a survey. ADHE does not have data on annual graduating classes of GED students, therefore, GED students are excluded; and (c) Since the NCES report is a survey, it may include private high schools and home school students. ADHE has no data on annual graduating classes of private high schools or home school students. ADHE obtains data on graduating classes of Arkansas public high schools (from the Arkansas 1-1 2012 Annual Comprehensive Report Page 4.10.2 Agenda Item No. 1 July 27, 2012 Department of Education). Therefore, the new methodology is a College- Going Rate calculation for Arkansas public high school graduates only. Old Methodology: The old methodology consisted of the Fall student cohort including (1) first-time, (2) full-time, and (3) on-campus that attend an Arkansas public or independent institution after completing high school or GED. The college-going rate for all Arkansas public and independent institutions in the 2011 Fall term is 52.2 percent. This represents an increase of 0.5 percentage points from the previous fall term. The proportion of this cohort entering 4-Year Universities was 32.3 percent (an increase of 1.1 percentage points), while the 2-Year Colleges was 16.7 percent (a decrease of 0.6 percentage points) and the proportion of the cohort entering Private/Independent Institutions was 3.3 percent (no change). The College-Going Rate for all institutions increased by 0.5 percentage points from last year to 52.2 percent. 1-2 2012 Annual Comprehensive Report Page 4.10.3 Agenda Item No. 1 July 27, 2012 NOTE: The Private Institutions did not begin submitting data on the high school graduation year of students until Academic Year 2011 (includes 2010 Fall term). However, this data may not be available in future years. Therefore, the below graph illustrates the College-Going Rate for public institutions only. The college-going rate for all Arkansas public institutions in 2011 Fall is 49.0 percent. This is an increase of 0.5 percentage points from the previous fall term. Gender: The public and independent college-going rate in Arkansas in 2011 Fall for females is 57.6 percent compared to 46.5 percent for males. The college-going rate nationally in 2010 for females is 74.0 percent and for males is 62.8 percent. 1-3 2012 Annual Comprehensive Report Page 4.10.4 Agenda Item No. 1 July 27, 2012 The public and independent college-going rate in the 2011 Fall term by race/ethnicity is as follows: The college-going rate nationally in 2010 for white students is 70.5 percent, for black students is 62.0 percent, and for Hispanics is 59.7 percent. NCES does not provide data for American Indian or Alaskan Native only students, Asian only any students, or Hawaiian or Pacific Islander only students. This report does not take into account students that go to college out-of-state, out-of- country, or to institutions that do not participate in the AHEIS/SISDB reporting system. 1-4 2012 Annual Comprehensive Report Page 4.10.5 Agenda Item No. 1 July 27, 2012 The top three higher education destinations for the 2011 Fall term for recently graduated high school students by institution type were as follows: Rank 4-Year University 2-Year College Private Institution 1 UAF1 NWACC2 HU3 2 UCA4 ASUB5 HC6 3 ATU7 PTC8 UO9 ADHE Executive Staff recommend that the AHECB accept this report. 1 University of Arkansas, Fayetteville 2 Northwest Arkansas Community College 3 Harding University 4 University of Central Arkansas 5 Arkansas State University Beebe 6 Hendrix College 7 Arkansas Tech University 8 Pulaski Technical College 9 University of the Ozarks 1-5 2012 Annual Comprehensive Report Page 4.10.6 ATTACHMENT 1-A (revised 7/25/2012) College-Going Rate by Institution Academic Year = 2012 (2011-2012), 2011 Fall Term Students graduated from High School in 2011 from an Arkansas Public High School All students are first-time entering Arkansas residents College Going Rate for the 2011 College Going Rate for the 2011 Fall Term Fall Term Inst.

  • Needs Improvement Priority Schools Arkansas Was Required to Identify A
    Needs Improvement Priority Schools Arkansas was required to identify a number of lowest-performing schools equal to at least five percent of the state’s Title I schools. Arkansas had 803 Title I schools in 2011, requiring at least 40 Title I schools be identified among the schools identified as Needs Improvement Priority Schools. Arkansas identified 48 schools which included 41 Title I schools. The criteria for identification of Priority Schools set by USDE included identifying schools that were: • Among the lowest five percent of schools in the state based on proficiency and lack of progress of the “All Students” group, or • Title I participating or Title I eligible high schools with graduation rates less than 60% over a number of years, or • Tier I or Tier II SIG schools implementing a school intervention model. An added ranks method was used to identify Needs Improvement Priority Schools. The details of this method are provided on pages 87 – 88 of Arkansas’s approved ESEA Flexibility request. This method was used in previous years to identify the persistently lowest achieving schools under Section 1003(g) of the Elementary and Secondary Schools Act. This method considers the rank of school performance in math and literacy for a three-year period. The three-year average math and literacy performance for Priority Schools ranged from 7.9% of students scoring at or above the Proficient level to 47.7% of students scoring at or above the Proficient level. Interventions for Needs Improvement Priority Schools are detailed on pages 88 – 96 of Arkansas’s approved ESEA Flexibility request.

Arkansas had 803 Title I schools in 2011, requiring at least 80 Title I schools be identified among the schools identified as Needs Improvement Focus Schools. Arkansas identified 109 schools which included 82 Title I schools. The criteria for identification of Focus Schools set by USDE included identifying schools that had: • The largest within-school gaps between the highest-achieving subgroup or subgroups and the lowest-achieving subgroup or subgroups or, at the high school level, the largest within-school gaps in the graduation rate; or • A subgroup or subgroups with low achievement or, at the high school level, a low graduation rate, or • All Title I-participating high schools with a graduation rate less than 60% over a number of years that were not identified as priority schools. Needs Improvement Focus Schools are identified based on the size of the achievement gap rather than the performance of the All Students group. Arkansas created a Targeted Achievement Gap Group (TAGG) to determine schools with the largest achievement gaps to ensure students at risk were counted, but only once, in the accountability model. The TAGG consists of students at risk due to economic disadvantage, English Learner status (EL), or Students with Disabilities (SWD). Students who met more than one of these risk categories were only included once in the TAGG. The achievement gaps between the TAGG and Non-TAGG students were calculated for all schools using three years of scores to minimize the impact of wide variations from year-to-year, which may occur in smaller schools.
