High-risk collegians are hard workers, results less than stellar

Some of the hardest-working, most engaged students at community colleges also are achieving the lowest academic results, a report out Monday says.

The Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) says students who are considered high-risk � typically defined as being less academically prepared, minorities, the first in their families to go to college or older than their peers � are generally more engaged in school than their colleagues.
