Abstract

This quantitative study examined the comparative factors of academic success between ECHS students (ECHS) and non-ECHS traditional college students, and utilized secondary data from National Student Clearinghouse and an East Texas community college. The enrollment of students in ECHS and non-ECHS traditional college students guided the study. The study focused on academic success factors, such as GPA, retention, and graduation. To further predict and compare academic success factors between ECHS and non-ECHS traditional college students, the data was disaggregated and compared among various at-risk demographics, such as ethnic minority, gender, and socioeconomic status.
