Intervention Summary

Northeast Tennessee College and Career Ready Consortium is a network of 29 high schools and five colleges across 15 counties that aims to ensure high school students in Northeast Tennessee are provided the opportunity to graduate from high school "college or career ready" and to improve the likelihood that students will be successful in college. The Consortium has six components: (1) providing management and communication, (2) promoting a college-going culture, (3) increasing quality of instruction, (4) increasing access to academically rigorous courses through distance and online technology, (5) expanding opportunities for college-level courses, and (6) providing resources and services to expand and sustain program capacity. The components are designed to achieve specific outcomes: increase students' college and career readiness, enrollment in Advanced Placement (AP) courses, performance on AP exams, enrollment in college, and persistence in college.

Data Sample by Population

These charts show the characteristics of the student populations studied. When assessing programs, you may want to prioritize interventions that yielded success in a similar demographic environment as your school or district.

The subgroup population data as studied here are not available. That means that while this study may work well for your setting, we cannot say based on the published study and results from our system’s reading of that study what the school/district subgroup characteristics were when evaluated here.
