This infographic updates and expands PACE’s prior work by examining participation in dual enrollment among California public high school students at all grade levels. PACE’s partnerships with the California Department of Education (CDE) and the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) enable the organization to merge data from both segments and analyze the full extent of dual enrollment for California public high school students through the state’s 72 community college districts. While PACE has previously reported dual enrollment participation among high school graduates, this analysis incorporates new data to show rates of participation and characteristics for all 9th- through 12th-grade students during the 2021–22 academic year. For the first time, PACE has a statewide picture of dual enrollment participation for high school students at all grade levels to inform current policy discussions and efforts by local educational agencies (LEAs) and community colleges to increase dual enrollment. An appendix includes charts showing dual enrollment participation by grade level across counties.
