Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
This project studied the efficacy and costs of a high school-to-college transition intervention implemented by the Kentucky Department of Education: the Targeted Intervention Program (TIP). TIP screens high school juniors for college readiness and provides interventions--often in the form of transition courses--to those deemed not on track to be college ready when graduating high school. Similar interventions are offered in about 40 states at either the state or the local level.
The efficacy of TIP was evaluated using extant administrative data stored at the Kentucky Center for Statistics. These data can be accessed by submitting a data use application at https://kystats.ky.gov/. The cost study relied on primary data collected through interviews and online surveys. The final research data for the cost study are shared here.

To
represent the diversity of contexts in which the TIP was implemented, a
stratified sample was drawn from all traditional public high schools in the
state. The
sample of school sites in this work was drawn from strata based on urbanicity
and the percentage of 11th-grade students who qualified for free or reduced-price
lunch (FRPL) in the second study year (i.e., the 2015–16 school year).The
population of high schools in the state was categorized by district locale
(urban, suburban, small town, rural remote) and by low, medium, and high FRPL
according to tercile in the statewide distribution. Prior
to sample selection, schools and districts that demonstrated low TI
implementation compliance were removed from the pool.
The study team randomly selected two schools from each stratum without replacement. The first-pick set of schools constituted the primary sample, and the second-pick schools served as the backup sample if participation was not secured from schools in the primary sample. The final cost study sample included data from six (out of the planned 12) schools.
