Jumpstart: Mapping Racial Equity in California’s Community College Dual Enrollment

This tool is a companion to the report, Jumpstart: Using Goals to Drive Equitable Dual Enrollment Participation in California’s Community Colleges. Within the tool, there are maps that give a visual representation of racial equity in dual enrollment participation across California’s high school and community college districts (CCDs), specifically for Latinx, Native, and Black students.

Our hope is that we will see local education leaders use this tool and the report to evaluate the level of racial representation that exists in their dual enrollment participation. This tool can also help leaders set actionable goals to increase dual enrollment among historically underserved student groups.

How to Use the Tool

Once on the tool webpage, use the arrows and buttons at the top of this page to navigate between the Latinx, Black, and Native American student-focused maps. Each map shares a participation score, an equity rating, and a goal to achieve equitable racial representation in each community college district (CCD).

In our report, Jumpstart: Setting Goals to Drive Equitable Dual Enrollment Participation in California’s Community Colleges, we take a look at California’s community colleges’ data on dual enrollment to see if they are equitably serving Black, Native, and Latinx students through dual enrollment. We provide recommendations and an analysis of the current landscape.
