Reported outcome for one cohort of the NVCC summer bridge program, which refreshes math and English skills so students can pass the college placement exam and avoid remedial classes. The retention figure is descriptive; no statistical test is printed.

"In one cohort of students in the summer bridge program, students began with an average high school G.P.A. of 2.4 and needed remediation at twice the national rate. Once the students completed the summer program, 100 percent of them continued on to the next semester, much higher than normal retention rates"
