Yes, high-school math proficiency strongly correlates with academic success in college
Only 24% of the Level 1 students enrolled in and persisted to a third semester of college.
We revisit and re-frame the original student flow chart found on page 5, paring the complexity down to simple bars that starkly show persistence in either in-state or out-of-state colleges by NECAP proficiency levels.
Fewer than one-quarter (944) of our cohort's Level 1 11th-graders enrolled in higher education and persisted to a 3rd semester of college. The same is true for 47% (1,291) of Level 2 students and 66% (1,734) of Level 3 and 4 students.
