Public High School Graduation and College-Readiness Rates: 1991–2002
Education Working Paper 8: February, 2005
Manhattan Institute
Jay P. Greene & Marcus A. Winters

"This study uses a widely respected method to calculate graduation rates, both nationally and for each state, for each public school graduating class from 1991 to 2002. It also combines graduation rate calculations with data provided by the U.S. Department of Education to calculate the percentage of all students who left high school eligible for college in each year. Because the requirements to graduate from high school are set lower than the requirements to apply to a four-year college, many high school graduates are ineligible to enroll."

The National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education provides information about higher education policy issues, including reports on access and affordability, public opinion of higher education, and higher education performance studies.

"Indiana’s Twenty-first Century Scholars Program asks low-income eighth-graders to make a commitment to take the necessary steps to prepare for college. In return, the State of Indiana provides support to students and their parents to help these teens prepare for college. The state also ensures that students in the program receive financial aid sufficient to cover in-state tuition at an Indiana public university or its equivalent at a private college. This report gives an overview of the Scholars Program and analyzes a state database to assess the impact of the program on college enrollment and persistence."
