Dual enrollment gives high school students a head start on college by allowing them to take real college courses—and the results are clear. Today, about 2.5 million students are taking college classes while still in high school, a dramatic increase from roughly 300,000 in the early 2000s. (Community College Research Center) 

Research shows that students who participate in dual enrollment are more likely to enroll in college right after high school and experience stronger postsecondary outcomes compared with their peers who do not. (Community College Research Center)
