Idaho's dual credit programs, with a unique state funding model under Advanced Opportunities, have seen substantial growth in student usage in recent years. WICHE analyzed six key topics related to the state's dual credit model: (1) Fiscal impact of using Advanced Opportunities funds for dual credit students specifically; (2) Number of credits earned by dual credit students using Advanced Opportunities funds; (3) Rates of students earning dual credits who go on to attend postsecondary educational institutions measured from fall semester following high school graduation; (4) Retention rates of students earning dual credits in high school from their first fall to spring terms at their postsecondary institution; (5) First semester GPA of students earning dual credits in high school at a postsecondary institution (fall after high school graduation); and (6) Appropriateness of using Advanced Opportunities funds for dual credit students
