A statistical description and analysis of the 1986 freshman class of the College of Staten Island (CSI) is presented. Six sections cover the following: full time student profile; full time student performance; full time student retention; part time student profile, part time student performance; and part time student retention. Sixteen tables provide statistics on: fall 1986 freshmen by English as a Primary Language/English as a Second Language status; age distribution; high school average, overall; high school average, English; high school average, mathematics; high school average, science; high school average, social science; high school average, foreign language; performance on Freshman Skills Assessment Program (FSAP) tests; choice of curriculum; FSAP tests by grade point average (GPA); GPA by age; overall high school average by GPA; grades in remedial courses; FSAP tests and retention; and retention by GPA and sex. Three graphs look at high school averages, high school average and GPA, and retention and GPA. Significant findings include the following: (1) 81% of first time freshmen were under 20 years of age; (2) 70% of freshmen failed one or more of the Assessment tests on the first try; (3) almost 90% of part time students selected an associate degree curriculum; and (4) attrition among part time students on probation (80%) was greater than among full time students (60%).
