  In Roundtable Session: Understanding the Pathways From High School to College: Factors and Outcomes

Abstract

College-readiness indicators for “on-track” and “highly qualified” students were analyzed for school districts in Nassau County, NY using logistic regression to determine if there is a relationship with the desired outcome of college enrollment and persistence into a second year. These indicators were then used to create reports along the “education pipeline” to tell a story about college-going students’ progression from 9th grade through the second year of college. Results are included in this study.
