Developmental Education: Why it MattersDevelopmental Education and Graduation
Effect on closing the graduation gaps at community colleges
If Black students enrolled in and completed developmental education at the same level of White students, Black graduation rates would potentially increase from 15.9% to 18.5%. This would reduce the Black/White graduation gap from 10 percentage points to 7.3 percentage points.
If Hispanic students enrolled in and completed developmental education at the same level of White students, Hispanic graduation rates would potentially increase from 15.5% to 17.0%. This would reduce the Hispanic/White graduation gap from 10.4 percentage points to 8.8 percentage points.
