As represented in the above tables, the percentage of four-year eligible students is
between 30% and 67%, yet the percentage of students who enroll and attend four-year
institutions hovers between 6% and 19% district wide; whereas the percentage of students
who enroll and attend community colleges falls between 40% and 57%. The numbers
clearly demonstrate that there is a gap in the college-going rate for the district despite the
districts efforts to create a consistent college-going culture within its high schools.
The project team will examine the college-going rates of different subgroups within
the district and determine where the gaps exist and the causes of those gaps by applying

| Abstract | From the time of Brown v. Board of Education, the role of education has been on the forefront of our social, political and economic landscape. Legislation such as the Elementary and Secondary Education Act and No Child Left Behind as well as publications like A Nation at Risk have all illustrated the lack of access, equity and achievement in American schools for the last fifty years. Currently, the United States has a 69% average high school graduation rate, which varies between subgroups and of those students only 57% continue their education in college.; Glendale Unified School District (GUSD) is a high-performing, large, urban school district that serves an economically and culturally diverse population. This project examined the root causes of the gaps in college going rates for all students as well as those of the underrepresented subgroups by applying the Clark and Estes (2005) gap analysis model. Gaps between goal achievement (college participation) and actual student performance were examined and then research-based solutions for closing the achievement gap and recommendations based on those solutions were recommended to the school district administrative team. |
