ST. JOHNS RIVER STATE COLLEGE

State Accountability Report Trends 2006 - 2010

Prepared by: Office of Research & Institutional Effectiveness


Introduction

Florida Statute mandates that the State Board of Education and district board of trustees for colleges in the

Florida College System develop an accountability plan which “provides for the systematic, ongoing

improvement and assessment of the improvement of the quality and efficiency of the Florida community

colleges.” This plan must include a number of factors including graduation rates, enrollment and retention

rates, job placement rates, and A.A. degree transfer performance in the State University System. To aid the

process, a series of accountability outcome measures have been developed for the Florida College System.

Each year, colleges receive detailed information (by ethnicity, college prep status etc.) on each of these

outcome measures. In addition, accountability trends are distributed that allow an individual college to

monitor outcomes over a 5-year time span and to compare itself to the Florida College System as a whole.

Brief Description of the Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure 1, Part 1 (M1P1): High School Continuation

This is measured by the percentage of high school graduates from the service district who enroll at

the College within one year of high school graduation.

Outcome Measure 1, Part 2 (M1P2): Retention and Success for Credit Students

This outcome measure shows the retention/success status of first-time-in-college (FTIC) credit

students from a particular fall entry term. Separate measurements are produced for Associate in Arts

degree seeking students, Associate in Science/Associate in Applied Science degree seeking students,

and college credit certificate seeking students.

Students who are seeking an associate degree must have completed 18 college credits during a 4

year tracking period to be included in the dataset. Conversely, certificate seeking students must have

completed 9 college credits during a 3 year tracking period.

First-time-in-college (FTIC) refers to first time in college and previous year high school graduates who

were dual enrolled within the prior two years.

Retention rate = [number of students who have graduated + number of students who are still

enrolled (both in good and in not good academic standing)] divided by the number of students in the

cohort.

Success Rate = [number of students who have graduated + number of students enrolled in good

standing + number of students who left in good standing] divided by the number of students in the

cohort.


Outcome Measure 2 (M2): A.A. Degree Student Transfer Performance

This is measured by the percentage of students who graduate with an Associate in Arts degree,

transfer to the State University System (SUS), and achieve an SUS Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.5

or above. Only students who complete their whole Associate in Arts degree at the College are

included in the cohort.

Outcome Measure 3, Part 2 (M3P2): Vocational Program Placement Completers

This measure reports the percentage of career and technical education completers who place into an

occupation that relates to their instruction. This includes completers going into the military or

continuing their education. Career and technical education programs for this measure are Associate

in Science/Applied Science degrees, college credit certificates, post-secondary adult vocational

certificates and apprenticeship programs.

Outcome Measure 4, Part 1 (M4P1): College Prep Success

This measures the percentage of FTIC students who fail an entry level test in a particular college prep

area, subsequently enroll in a college prep course in that area, and successfully pass the highest level

college prep course in that area. Students are tracked for three years. Separate measurements are

reported for mathematics, reading, and writing.

Outcome Measure 4, Part 2 (M4P2): College Prep Retention and Success for A.A. Students

This outcome measure shows the retention/success status of first-time-in-college (FTIC) Associate in

Arts degree seeking students who complete all necessary college preparatory requirements by the

end of the tracking period. For students to be included in the data set they must have completed 18

college credits during a 4 year tracking period.

Retention rate = [number of students who have graduated + number of students who are still

enrolled (both in good and in not good academic standing)] divided by the number of students in the

cohort.

Success Rate = [number of students who have graduated + number of students enrolled in good

standing + number of students who left in good standing] divided by the number of students in the

cohort.

Outcome Measure 5 (M5): College Level Academic Skills Performance

This measure refers to the percentage of students with 60 or more college credit hours earned at the

College who meet CLAST requirements through either the CLAST test or through a CLAST alternative.

Separate measurements are produced for college prep students, non-college prep students, and all

students in the cohort.


Year to Year Accountability Trends

Measure 1 Part 1: High School Continuation

St. Johns River State College enrolled 18.09% of public high school graduates from the service district within one year of graduation. This percentage is slightly larger than from the previous year. However, this percentage is significantly lower than that for the Florida College System (FCS).

Measure 1 Part 2: Retention and Success Rates for Credit Students

Associate in Arts Students

St. Johns River State College students achieved a retention rate of 58.92% and a success rate of 84.52% for

the most recent reporting period. Retention rates are derived from the original fall cohort who either

graduated or are still at the College. Success rates are derived from those who graduated, who left in good

academic standing, or are still enrolled and are in good standing. These percentages were higher than the

previous year. The retention rate is lower than those for the Florida College System and the success rate is

slightly lower than the cohort.

College Credit Certificate Students

St. Johns River State College students achieved a retention rate of 80% and a success rate of 70% for the

most recent reporting period. These percentages were lower than those for the Florida College System. The

large year-to-year percentage variation for St. Johns River State College is influenced by the low number of

students in the college credit certificate cohort for the College.

Measure 4 Part 2: College Prep Retention and Success Rate A.A.

This outcome shows the status of first time in college students studying for an Associate in Arts degree who

completed all necessary college preparatory requirements. For the most recent reporting period, these

students achieved a retention rate of 63.57% and a success rate of 85.27%. While these percentages are

lower than those for the Florida College System, the retention rate increased for the third consecutive year

and the success rate is only 0.15% below that of the FCS. Retention rates are derived from the original fall

cohort who have either graduated or are still at the College. Success rates are derived from those who

graduated, who left in good academic standing, or are still enrolled and are in good standing.
