Dual enrollment in California
College credit earned while still in high school. It is the single largest lever on a college bill, and what it costs your family depends almost entirely on which state you are in.
The state covers dual-enrolment tuition, so college credit earned in high school costs your family little or nothing.
College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) dual enrollment (Cal. Educ. Code sec. 76004)
Free
For courses taken under a CCAP partnership agreement, the community college district governing board MUST exempt the pupil from the enrollment fee (Ed. Code 76300, normally $46 per unit), the health fee, the student representation fee, the parking fee and the student activity fee, and no fee prohibited by Section 49011 may be charged - so tuition is $0 to the family. This exemption is scoped to CCAP; for non-CCAP dual enrollment the $46/unit Ed. Code 76300 enrollment fee applies unless the district chooses to exempt special part-time students under 76300(f), which most but not all districts do. Textbooks, materials and transportation are not addressed by this section.
Who can enroll. High school pupils (including community school, continuation, juvenile court school and adult education diploma programs, charter schools and regional occupational centers) enrolled through a CCAP partnership agreement adopted by both a community college district and a school district or county office of education; the program targets pupils who are not already college bound or are underrepresented in higher education. One parental consent form and principal recommendation covers the pupil's whole participation. Physical education courses are barred. Scope: California Community Colleges only - CSU and UC dual enrollment is not covered.
Up to 15 credits per term.

Results
State assessments, 2019. Reported by EDFacts as ranges rather than exact figures, to keep small cohorts from being identifiable.

Who goes here
55% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. That figure is also the federal shorthand for family income, and it is what most need-based aid and fee waivers key on.
Outside of class
Activities colleges actually read on an application - and where to find them near this school. Depth in one or two beats a list of ten.
