ARCC 2012 Report: College Level Indicators
Victor Valley College
Victor Valley Community College District
College Self-Assessment
Our service area is centered in a transitional suburban region that has experienced severe economic
declines during the last three years:
? Regional median household values declined to $40k less than county average ($160k v. $200k).
? Regional median household income declined to $5k less than county average ($50k v. $55k).
? Regional unemployment is 15%.
Challenges include unprecedented student demand for classes and services, as well as ongoing restrictions
on state funding. Rationed scheduling in 2010-2011 resulted in fewer unduplicated headcounts but with little
negative impact on FTEs production. In comparison with regional demographics, student population
under-represents white non-Hispanics (37% v. 43%) and males (42.9% v. 50%), and over-represents African
Americans (13.9% v. 10%).
ARCC 2012 shows that VVCCD performance has shown growth but continues to be below peers all six
indicators.
1. At 47%, VVCCD increased by 3.4 percentage points over last year on Student Progress and
Achievement (SPAR). Performance is now 2.9 percentage points below the peer group average.
2. VVCCD’s Percentage of Students Who Earned at Least 30 Units is 69.5%, an increase of 0.6
percentage points over the 2009-2010 cohort and 3.8 percentage points below peers.
3. The Persistence Rate for VVCCD increased 1.7 percentage points from last year, but is 7.5 percentage
points below peers.
4. Vocational Course Completion Rate declined 1.0 percentage point and is 3.1 percentage points below
peers.
5. The Basic Skills Successful Course Completion Rate increased by 2.5 percentage points from last year
and is below peers by 3.2 percentage points.
6. Improvement Rates show declines and are below peer performance: Basic Skills Improvement declined
2.5 percentage points and is 0.9 percentage points below peers; ESL Improvement decreased by 6.4
percentage points and is 6.5 percentage points below peers.
Our improvement goals for 2012 were to match or exceed the ARCC peer group averages for all six
indicators. At present, we have not met those targets. The district continues to underperform most notably
on Persistence and key progress achievements such as ESL Improvement and Earned 30+ Units. Gains
made last year on SPAR and course success in Credit Basic Skills and Credit Vocational will continue, as we
identify improvements campus-wide to increase success in credit vocational courses as part of our Perkins
planning efforts. Each CTE program will be required to review and analyze core indicator data, and include
improvement plans in their individual Title IC application for 2012-2013
Through the annual program review and planning process, the division of student services has discussed
ARCC indicators as well as recommendations from the Student Success Task Force Report and, as a result,
formulated its goals and an action plan to improve persistence and student progress overall. In addition,
relevant strategic objectives and priorities will be incorporated into VVC’s Educational Master Plan,
underway at this writing. Progress on all action plans will be monitored throughout deployment using ARCC
indicators, among others, to represent part of the summative view on the overall impact of our collective
efforts on improving institutional performance.
