The Early Middle College Enrollment and Outcomes report lets users explore trends in enrollment, completion, and awards earned through Early Middle College programs. Users can look at these metrics by individual EMC program, the EMC student's reporting ISD, the EMC’s physical county location and at a statewide level.
This report is updated annually in the spring. See the Recently Posted Reports page for when the report was last updated.
At the top of the report, various methods are available for filtering the data. The “ISD” and “County” buttons filter by either a student’s reporting ISD or the physical county location of an EMC. Additionally, the “Early Middle College” filter lets users select an individual EMC program. This filter can be applied alongside the County and ISD filters. Lastly, the report can be narrowed to a specific student population. The default setting includes “All Students,” with the option to select one individual subgroup or subgroup category at a time. For instance, selecting “Gender” will display separate categories for “Male” and “Female.” However, choosing “Male” will solely display data for males without including females.
In the “Early Middle College Outcomes” section, the default display consists of four charts filtered by students who received a HS Diploma and additional graduation awards. The additional award data is shown at the award level rather than the student level, since students could receive more than one award (i.e. an associate degree and the Michigan Early Middle College Association (MEMCA) Technical Certificate.) To view students who earned only a HS diploma, click the “Diploma Only” button. Additionally, the “Show Data Tables” option will present the data from the charts in table format below. The bottom two charts, available when viewing students with diplomas and awards, can be further filtered by Award Type. This filter only affects the two charts below it that pertain to awards.

Disclosure Avoidance
To protect the privacy of individual students, CEPI uses data suppression rules whenever report settings would yield fewer than 10 students in a given group and percentages of students would result in less than 5 percent or greater than 95 percent.
