Summary
of Findings:
The analysis shows
that 57% of the class of 2005 attended college in the first year after
graduation. Eighty-three percent of the college students stayed in Washington
and 17% attended colleges elsewhere. Almost half (48%) attended
a public two-year college in Washington. Only 15% attended a private institution.
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 and also include a list of all institutions of higher education
where graduates were enrolled. 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
