WARWICK, R.I. — The Community College of Rhode Island this week released new data indicating that 62 percent of full-time, fresh-out-of-high-school students who entered the college in the fall of 2017 — the first Rhode Island Promise cohort — returned this fall, and 22 percent are on track to graduate within a two-year time frame.
