According to the College in High School Alliance, there is evidence of positive outcomes for students participating in dual enrollment programs. Students who participate in college in high school programs are more likely to graduate high school, enroll in college, persist in college, and complete a college degree or credential. Low-income and underrepresented students in higher education experience the biggest positive impacts on their ability to access and complete college by getting a jumpstart on taking college classes in high school, particularly in early college high schools. College in high school programs, and especially early colleges, show a strong return on investment in those states who have examined the long-term impact.
