The results include data from public schools only. In most cases, the number of high school graduates was obtained through the Texas Education Agency Web site at the following address: http://www.tea.state.tx.us/adhocrpt/adstg06.html. In some cases, the number of graduates was obtained from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Web site. Please note that the data reflect all graduates for the 2006 year, including summer 2006 graduates. The results from this report will be used by MCC to help identify the needs of our students. The study examined 1) the percentage of local-area high school graduates attending MCC, 2) the demographics of local-area high school graduates attending MCC, 3) MCC grade distribution of local-area high school graduates, 4) the percentage of local-area high school graduates enrolled in developmental courses, and 5) the percentage of local-area high school graduates attending MCC during the fall 2006 semester who returned to MCC in the spring 2007 semester. The report contains an executive summary as well as detailed results. 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 class (2005) are included. For some of the performance measures, data from 2004 graduates are also included. Summary of Results: (Note: Percentages have been rounded to the nearest integer.)
