Preparatory Pathways and STEM Calculus Completion under AB 1705: An Aggregate Look at College-Level Reports, November 2024
Brief offers an aggregate look at 115 college reports provided to validate the three standards of AB 1705 at the local level. The individual reports were a follow up on an earlier statewide analysis of more than 37,000 student records that applied the same validation standards for AB 1705. However, the college-level analyses provide an opportunity to verify statewide findings based on a more recent timeframe, a different set of criteria for grouping students based on high school accomplishments, and student information obtained through the centralized community college application (CCCApply), instead of high school transcripts.
