This site from the Research Triangle Institute "provides quick and easy access to national-, state- and initiative-level data that describe the progress and success of community college students." Readers interested in the retention and development of community college students may like to begin by selecting Explore the Arch from the landing page, where they will find explanations of the five areas, including Enrollment, Developmental Education Placement, Progress, Transfer and Completion, and Workplace Preparation and Employment Outcomes. Readers may select any of these indicators for further explanation. For instance, selecting Enrollment navigates to a site that offers a brief text on enrollment statistics, as well as a helpful graph that visually presents community college enrollment by gender. The site also features informative tabs that may be helpful for readers interested in the methodology behind the study and its data.
