economic impacts that important institutions like these have across the Fifth District and beyond. Unfortunately, existing data collected across states do not fully describe the range of outcomes achieved by community college students. Individual community
colleges use many metrics to gauge their success, but these can vary from school to school, and from state to state, which makes it hard to compare across institutions and track outcomes consistently over time.
<br>
<br>
The Richmond Fed’s </span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#273F69"><a href="https://www.richmondfed.org/region_communities/regional_data_analysis/surveys/community_college" target="_blank">Survey of Community College Outcomes (SCCO)</a></span><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">
is a quantitative, consistent system for measuring community college outcomes that provides a fuller view of what success looks like for community college students. This includes part-time students, those who have attended college previously and other non-traditional
students—and will allow for better analysis on how student success contributes to local workforce and economic development. Additionally, we collect data on wraparound services offered by community colleges, dual enrollment, and enrollment in non-credit programs.
