College Summit :: Partnerships

Partnerships

We would like to acknowledge the ongoing support of our partner schools and Regis University who ensure that all students are supported in the postsecondary transition process.

Accomplishments

A college going culture shift is taking place within our partner schools and we have some promising results:

• College Summit produces a 12-18% increase in college enrollment for program participants, according to an independent outcomes evaluation.

• 95% of seniors have submitted at least one college application and 64% have submitted 3 or more college applications.

• Mapleton's college enrollment rate has increased by 51% and their dropout rate has declined from over 11% to only 5.5% since the beginning of our partnership in 2004-05.
