2.2.5 Total and Share of Students Completing At Least One Dual Credit Course

Why is this important?

With dual credit courses, high school students simultaneously earn credit toward high school graduation and a college degree. Dual credit coursework is an outgrowth of the CHOICE legislation in 1990 and enables eligible high school students to pursue additional educational challenges.

There are programs that allow students to earn credit for their high school diploma and college at the same time. The programs are called Dual Credit programs. The Dual Credit rate is the percent of students completing at least one of these classes within a given school year. This includes, Running Start, CTE Dual Credit (formerly Tech Prep), College in High School, Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Cambridge International. Students can enroll in more than one type of dual credit course.

This indicator measures the total number and share of 9-12th grade public school students who had completed at least one dual credit course program in Walla Walla County.
