In 2011, the College entered into its first early intervention pilot program in partnership
with the Hampton Bays School District. The pilot yielded a marked reduction in the number
of remedial students entering the College from Hampton Bays High School. In 2016, the
College took the information that was learned through the pilot program and began
working in partnership with McGraw-Hill and 15 Suffolk County high schools to conduct a
mathematics early intervention study involving nearly 1,000 Long Island high school
seniors. This effort will help the high schools identify students who might be at risk for
developmental placement, providing the high school with sufficient time to remediate the
student before they reach college.
