INTRODUCTION

REPORT OVERVIEW

This MCC Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) found in this report focus primarily on student success, retention and completion. All KPIs align with the MCC Strategic Plan 2015-2020, and this report provides an overview of the college’s progress towards meeting the Strategic Priority Goals outlined in that plan. Each KPI section starts by listing the KPI goals, goal status, discussion, MCC Strategic Priority alignment and metric definitions.

When possible, each KPI provides a trend for MCC and comparisons against peer colleges, often within Maricopa, NCCBP and the national peer group discussed on the next page. Data in the report come from a variety of sources: IPEDS, NCCBP and internal MCCCD and MCC reports. Sometimes, due to differences in report methodology, similar metrics have slightly different results across sources.

For many metrics, our goals focus on how MCC ranks within our peer groups. The goals for these rankings are to be in the top five Maricopa colleges, in the top three of national peer institutions, and in the top half of all community colleges reporting to the National Community College Benchmark Project (NCCBP).

The KPIs in this report are numbered based on the following themes:

1. Course Success KPIs 2. Course Momentum KPIs 3. Retention KPIs 4. Graduation and Transfer KPIs 5. Enrollment KPIs 6. Student Learning Outcomes KPIs

KPI PROGRESS SNAPSHOT

Over the past several years, MCC has made progress increasing student success across many indicators, and notable successes are listed below. However, some retention and graduation rates have remained stagnant or declined slightly, and room for improvement exists within many peer rankings.

• College-level course success rate increased 1.3% over the past year and 3.3% in five years. • Online course success rate increased 1.7% over the past year and 6.5% in five years. • Development course success rate increased 4.3% over the past year and 8.4% in five years. • Course success rates among all race/ethnic groups have increased over the past five years. • Credit Momentum for part-time and full-time students has increased over the past five years. • New-to-college students completing English within their first year increased by 11% over the past five years. • IPEDS 3-year graduation rate increased by 5% over the past five years. • Graduate count increased 5.4% over last year and increased 22% since FY2010.

PEER COMPARISON COLLEGES

Comparison of MCC metrics to other similar community colleges can provide context and help answer the question of “is this number good?” We can first gauge if MCC’s measures are improving year-over-year, but outside of external comparison, we would lack the context to know if our performance is on par with comparable colleges, and if MCC is on track to fulfill its vision of “leading the way to success in our local and global communities.”

An analysis of national Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) and Carnegie Classification data was used to develop a comparison cohort of 23 peer colleges with similar sizes, demographics and student characteristics. The comparison group includes large public 2-year institutions that offer an Associate’s degree as their highest degree offered and are located in either a midsize or large city or suburb.

The Carnegie Classification system groups associate-degree granting colleges by type and size. MCC’s 2018 Basic Carnegie Classification is High Transfer Awards (over 70% of awards conferred were non-CTE awards) and High Traditional Student Population (defined by Carnegie using an index score created from various student characteristics). Peer colleges were selected from Carnegie Classifications of high transfer or mixed transfer/career awards and either a traditional or mixed traditional/nontraditional student population. Colleges classified as high career award granting or high nontraditional students were excluded.

The peer college’s Fall 2017 unduplicated headcount ranges between 13,275 and 52,957. Note: Several college districts in Texas report data at the district level. Because the district profiles were similar to MCC, the districts were included in the peer comparison group. Without the districts, the range of unduplicated headcounts is 13,275 to 29,620. The peer colleges have the following ranges of student characteristics: white student population between 25-60% of the student body; Hispanic student population between 15-55%; Pell grant recipients between 15-40%; full-time students between 20-40%. Other variables were considered to exclude outliers in the peer group: percentages of other student race/ethnic groups, demographic trends, student-to-faculty ratio, gender, age, percent of students receiving financial aid, and percent of students enrolled online.

The full peer comparison group will be used when IPEDS data is available for the key performance indicator. When IPEDS data is not available, National Community College Benchmark Program (NCCBP) data will be used. However, not all colleges report data to NCCBP, so the NCCBP comparison will be a subset of the full peer comparison group.

ACHEIVEMENT GAP COMPARISON – COLLEGE-LEVEL COURSE SUCCESS – AY 2013-2018

Between AY2013 and AY2018, course success rates of all racial/ethnic groups increased, with the largest increases from Black students (up 8.8 percentage points), American Indian students (up 5.1 percentage points) and Hispanic students (up 4.3 percentage points). Course failure rates have remained relatively static over this time frame with changes of less than one percentage point; withdrawal rates have decreased notably. A large contributor to increased success rates has been the conversion of withdrawal to success.

Statistical Analysis of Achievement Gaps While course success rates of all ethnic and racial groups have increased at MCC over the past five years, statistically significant differences still exist between groups. An analysis of MCC college-wide course success data observed statistically significant differences between White and Hispanic, White and American Indian, and White and Black students, with White students outperforming each ethnicity in Fall 2014-2016 and Spring 2014-2017 terms. There were no statistically significant differences between White and Asian students for fall or spring terms. An analysis of Fall 2016 department-level course success data found: • 7 departments where White students

outperformed Hispanic students by a statistically significant margin.

• 7 departments where White students outperformed American Indian students by a statistically significant margin.

• 15 departments where White students outperformed Black students by a statistically significant margin.

2.1 FALL-TO-SPRING RETENTION - FULL-TIME STUDENTS

Goal: Retention rates are in the top five among Maricopa colleges, in the top three of comparable peer institutions and above the NCCBP national median.

Goal Status: Not met. Rate fluctuating.

Discussion: While Fall-to-Spring retention for full-time students increased from 2013-2016, retention decreased in the most recent year, from 81.3% to 79.4%. While the lagging NCCBP report shows rank increases over the last report, next year’s NCCBP data will reflect this decrease.

MCC Strategic Priority Goal Alignment: SEM/ETL Goal 1 (Guided Pathways), SEM Goal 3 (Student Success) and ETL Goal 2 (Student Experience/Instructional Innovation) Definition: Fall to spring full-time retention is the percentage of students enrolled full-time in the fall term who persisted to the subsequent spring term.
