The Chancellor’s Office created “peer group colleges” in an attempt to “level the playing field”.
For every college-level indicator, there are external factors beyond the control of the college that affect its performance on that indicator.
Colleges were grouped as “peers” based on the statistical magnitude that these external factors had on each college-level indicator.
RCC’s College Level RCC’s College Level Indicators:Indicators:Peer GroupingPeer Grouping
Transfer rates are affected by external factors: level of academic preparedness of student
body distance to nearest UC/CSU income levels of service areas percentage of older students served
Colleges with similar levels on all these factors and would be classified together as “peers”.

Peer Grouping: Transfer ExamplePeer Grouping: Transfer Example
Peer grouping was statistically derived does not necessarily reflect any traditional,
intuitive grouping method
Since each indicator is affected by different external factors, each college is assigned to different peer groups for each indicator RCC has no single peer college for each indicator
Peer grouping is intended to provide a more equitable context for interpreting college performance College to college comparisons are not
encouraged
