Washington State College Enrollment Study
Washington State Enrollment Study is now available. This study provides information on the college enrollment patterns of the high school graduating Class of 2007, based on data from the National Student Clearinghouse.
Summary of Findings
The analysis shows that 59% of the class of 2007 attended college in the first year after graduation. Eighty-six percent of the college students stayed in Washington and 14% attended colleges elsewhere. Half (50%) attended a public two-year college in Washington.
Data for Local School Districts
School Districts can purchase tables with comparable information for their graduates after they subscribe to the National Student Clearinghouse's Student Tracker system. The included figures are identical to the state report. A set of tables costs $500 for the first one and $250 for each additional set ordered within 2 weeks of receipt of the first tables. All reports will be emailed as Microsoft Excel attachments.
Data for Local Colleges
Community and Technical Colleges are invited to purchase tables of comparable information for graduates from area high schools. The included figures are identical to the state report. A set of tables costs $500 for the first one and $250 for each additional set ordered within 2 weeks of receipt of the first tables. All reports will be emailed as Microsoft Excel attachments.
We expect data on college enrollments for the Class of 2008 to be available in the spring of 2010.
