In this study the regression model used with School A to predict college success
was replicated at School B, Algebra I and world history were found to be statistically
significant indicators of future college success, explaining approximately 40% of the
variance in college GPA (R = .644). Algebra I accounted for 15.2% and world history
accounted for 26.3% of the variance in the outcome variable (college GPA). Further
analysis using logistic regression revealed that if students in School B make an A or B
in Algebra I, according to these results they are 10 times more apt to be ready and have
a 78% chance of maintaining a 2.5 or better college GPA versus students making a C or
D which reduces their chances to 26%. The overall model was significant (f = 25.55, df
= 2, 72, p = <.001).
