Center Engagement Data
And within all student groups, higher levels of engagement are associated with higher outcomes, as measured by self-reported GPAs.
11
Among males, Blacks are the most engaged, followed by Latinos, followed by White males.
However, student success – credits earned or self-reported GPA - reverses the pattern: White men have stronger outcomes, followed by Latino men, with Black men reporting the lowest outcomes.
