Dual enrollment programs are evidence-based practices that improve rates of college enrollment, high school and degree completion, and college credit accumulation.  \nNationally, 82% of high schools offer dual enrollment, and about one-third of students take at least one dual enrollment course by graduation.2 Program participation has nearly doubled from 2013 to 2023.3 However, the national data infrastructure has not kept up to better understand who is participating, what courses are taken, and how dual enrollment impacts education and workforce outcomes.  \nKEY STATISTICS  \n82%  \nof high schools offer dual enrollment  \n1 in 3  \nof students take at least one dual enrollment course by graduation. Program participation has nearly doubled from 2013 to 2023.  \nWHAT IS DUAL ENROLLMENT? 3  \nWhy does federal dual enrollment data collection matter?  \nRobust federal education data collection and reporting are essential for understanding which students are being served and how they fare nationally across programs. When data are comparable across states and disaggregated by key student characteristics, federal systems can surface national patterns in participation and outcomes, highlight gaps, and reveal which policies and practices are working.  \nThis information, in turn, gives federal leaders the tools to set clear expectations, design incentives, improve federal policy, and support states in improving quality.  \nThis role is especially critical for dual enrollment; a core part of the nation’s education and talent development ecosystem, it sits at the intersection of K-12 and higher education, meaning no single system is fully accountable for tracking participation and outcomes. This makes it difficult to see a coherent national picture.  \nWithout a robust federal data strategy, we cannot answer basic questions about which students are accessing dual enrollment, what kinds of courses they are taking, or how those choices shape their long-term postsecondary and labor market outcomes. Expanding federal dual enrollment data collection and accessibility could improve informed decision-making for students and families, and support a national understanding of strategies to strengthen education-to-career pipelines.
