The College Reach-Out Program (CROP) is a statewide program designed to increase the number of students successfully completing a postsecondary education. The primary objective of the Reach-Out Program is to strengthen the scholastic motivation and preparation of economically and/or educationally challenged students in grades 6-12 who otherwise would be unlikely to seek admission to community colleges, state universities or independent postsecondary institutions without special support and recruitment efforts.
One report by the Florida Postsecondary Education Planning Commission highlighted the performance outcomes of CROP students:
- CROP participants perform at levels comparable to or better than non-program (co-hort) participants.
- The successful academic performance of CROP participants is a continuing trend in grades 6-12.
- Historically, upon completion of high school, CROP students are more likely to enroll in postsecondary education than are non-participants.
- Eighty-eight percent of CROP students who went on to postsecondary education enrolled at a community college. Seven percent enrolled in the a state university.
LSCCs College Reach-Out Program helps students through information, encouragement, and goal setting to:
- Plan for their educational future,
- Participate in special activities,
- Prepare for the next level, and
- Practice for exams.
