A recent report says that Mississippi high school students who take dual-credit courses go to college at the nation’s highest rate. A study from the Community College Research Center at Teacher’s College, Columbia University, found that nationally, 81% of dual-credit students go to college. In Mississippi, that number is 93%.

State officials say there’s likely no silver bullet for the high rate at which Mississippi’s dual-credit students enroll in college. Here, “dual credit” means a course that students can take for both high school and college credit. It’s different from “dual enrollment,” which refers to a high school student who is also enrolled at a community college.
Plus, Mississippi’s 15 community colleges reach more corners of the state, meaning districts that may not be able to offer Advanced Placement courses can likely partner with a nearby community college. “They can leave one classroom, go next door, and they’re sitting in a college class,” said Wendy Clemons, the Mississippi Department of Education’s associate state superintendent for secondary education.
But not all Mississippi students are benefiting equally, Fink said. The research center’s report found that Black students in Mississippi and across the country were less likely to pursue dual-credit opportunities.
