Table numbers identified for college reflect students who participated in CB-‐STL’s college persistence program — not total number of CB-‐STL students attending postsecondary institutions. The goal of this segmented reporting is aimed at correlating the impact of services provided with the outcomes achieved. CB-‐STL uses NSC to track and compare outcomes of students who are not in CB-‐STL’s Accountability Group with students who are in CB-‐STL’s Accountability Group. CB-‐STL’s 9 th grade component does not feed directly into the high school comprehensive component. Program expansion (after 2008) resulted in the opportunity to serve new students. New students are represented in parentheses. New students in the College Accountability Group represent a pilot program aimed at testing whether persistence services can be effective for students who did not benefit from CB-‐STL’s high school program.
A Blueprint for Success V — The Boys Hope Girls Hope -‐ The College Road Boys Hope Girls Hope 12120 Bridgeton Square Dr., Bridgeton, MO 63044 402-770-1499 (v) 314-298-1251 (f) boyshopegirlshope.org Julie Allen, Chief Academic Officer jallen@bhgh.org The Boys Hope Girls Hope College Road is a model of a comprehensive program that supports students from 6th grade through college (and in some cases, graduate school) completion. In addition to local supports for students, a core element of the program involves bringing students together from across the nation for summer events and campus visits. While this increases the program costs related to travel, it effectively expands the horizons of the participating students and exposes them to new places. Students have frequent faceto-face contact with local supports and they are also a part of a larger national network through web-based social media. All program improvements are driven by frequent data collection and analysis, and the assessment strategy was designed with the curriculum so that they align. Program Overview The College Road is a comprehensive college access, persistence, and completion program for students in the Boys Hope Girls Hope (BHGH) organization. Participants, called BHGH scholars, are first generation college aspirants, often also the first in their families to graduate from high school.
