Basic Skills: students who have taken the assessments are more successful as a
whole; those with higher English and math proficiency do better. 80% of
students entering in the program have an unknown skill set going into the
program *note: basic skills data only records what students tested into, not what
level they were at when taking the courses, with the exception of Engl 1A;
Students entering at the READ 360 level were successful. The trend seemed to be
the lower the math skills the lower the chance for success, up to math 380, where
the success rate improves; only 68% of students had an unknown math skill level
Student support adequate.
Curriculum: fairly current with the exception of 59B.
