| Abstract: | Postsecondary education enrollment and completion disparities exist for Minnesota's Black, Indigenous, and Persons of Color (BIPOC) and lower-income students. One outcome measure demonstrating the impact of systemic disparities in K-12 education is a student's level of readiness for college-level courses following high school graduation. Given that academic preparation is a significant predictor of persistence and completion in college, developmental education serves as a bridge between the academic readiness of students enrolling in a postsecondary education and the academic skills needed to succeed in college level work. Developmental education courses can add to the overall cost of college for students in terms of both tuition and opportunity costs for students who spend additional time finishing developmental course requirements before starting program-specific courses. This report analyzes the college enrollment and developmental education activity of Minnesota public high school graduates from the graduating classes between 2015-2022 enrolling in postsecondary education in Minnesota within two years of high school graduation. This report uses student-level data within the Minnesota Statewide Longitudinal Education Data System (SLEDS) on Minnesota public high school graduates from the Minnesota Department of Education and college enrollment data from the Minnesota Office of Higher Education and the National Student Clearinghouse, and provides one measure of academic readiness of Minnesota's public high school graduates. |
