- Students who enrolled in dual enrollment and did not pass are about 6 percentage points more likely to enroll in college than comparable students who never took advanced coursework — related
- Students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds fail dual enrollment at higher rates than equally achieving peers, with the gap widening as achievement rises (the readiness illusion) — related
