From here: What Percent of High School Graduates Go to College?
1. An estimated 3.7 million students are graduating from high school during the 2019–20 school year.
2. Statistics on high school students show that the college enrollment rates for recent high school graduates between ages 16 and 24 in 2018 were: 66.9% for male students and 71.3% for female students.
3. In the year 2017, the majority of the overall immediate college enrollment was females.
4. Most of the students who belong to the lowest quintile pursue an associate’s degree than a bachelor’s degree.
5. One-third of students from the lowest quintile of that cohort enrolled immediately compared to students from the top quintile.
6. In 2019, more higher-income high school students who enrolled in college than those of lower-income high school.
7. Students from the highest quintile of socioeconomic status are 50% more likely to enroll in college than those in the lowest quintile (28%).
8. In 2018, 19.6 million students enrolled in degree-granting postsecondary institutions.
9. In the school year 2019, the U.S. national graduation rate was 84.6%.
10. In the school year 2019-2020, approximately 3.6 million public high school students are graduating from high school with diplomas.
11. In fall 2019, approximately 19.9 million students attended colleges and universities.
12. In 2018, 11.2 million female students were enrolled.
13. There are about 8.7 million male students who were enrolled last year.
14. Among male and female students, the overall immediate college enrollment rate in 2017 was higher among females.
15. In 2018, about 2.2 million students ages 16-24 enrolled in college out of 3.2 million students.
16. It is expected to have a 3% enrollment growth in 2017-2028.
17. In 2017, 36% of high school graduates did not apply for financial aid.
18. Vicinity to colleges and universities can be a huge impediment to high school graduates in rural areas.
19. Colleges and universities prefer to recruit at high schools in communities where the average family income is above $100,000.
20. A strong economy is a major factor for the years of decrease in graduation.
21. Some countries have the highest rates of tertiary education completion while others do not.
22. The rates of tertiary education enrollment vary by continent.
23. After graduating from high school, over half of the European students go on to participate in vocational programs.
24. More male students enroll in trade schools.
We can complain about the high-cost of post-secondary education but that will do nothing to the wisdom regarding the personal-and-public necessity of a higher-education in the US for our children.
