How many of these 11th graders enrolled and persisted in higher education?
Less than 43% of this 11th-grade cohort enrolled in a second year, or 3rd semester, of higher education.
The student cohort for this data story is the 9,301 students -- in the blue box to the left. Roughly 3,000 8th-grade students disappear from our study because they did not stay in Rhode Island public schools through the administration of the 11th-grade NECAP. (Many transferred to private school or moved out of state.)
As we follow those students who enter higher education we consider all students, regardless of if they enrolled full-time or part-time.
