Low achieving students tend to enroll in remedial courses
Of all students enrolled in a public, in-state institution, 54% of the Level 1 students took a remedial math course, in contrast to only 4% of the proficient students.
Remedial (or 'developmental') courses are not credit bearing so do not count toward Associate or Bachelor degrees. Still students must pay course tuition which can make remedial courses feel like "getting nowhere."
DATA NOTE: This chart includes only students from our cohort who enrolled in one of the three RI public higher education institutions.
