As described in A Rising Tide, student participation in dual enrollment has been growing steadily over the last four years. Yet, participation varies across racial/ethnic subgroups and special populations of students. This online appendix reports the variation that also exists across California’s 58 counties. For each county, we provide the rate of dual enrollment participation overall in the last four years and depict the differences in participation rates for the four largest racial/ethnic subgroups (Asian, Black, Latinx and White) and for subgroups of socioeconomically disadvantaged students, English learners, students with disabilities, foster youth, and homeless students. In some county-level graphs, student subgroups are omitted due to cell size restrictions for reporting on subgroups with few students.
