Getting to the Finish Line: College Enrollment and Graduation

This report provides a detailed outline of the story of the Boston Public Schools (BPS) Class of 2000 as seen through the lens of college enrollment, graduation and continuing enrollment. This is a study of student experiences and tells us how many students from the BPS Class of 2000 enrolled in two and four year colleges over the seven years following high school graduation. It tells us the number of students who obtained postsecondary degrees from the schools in which they enrolled initially, as of the summer of 2007, and the number who received degrees from some other institution. This provides us with the percentage of BPS graduates entering college who have received formal degrees, as well as the number of those who were still enrolled without a degree in the spring of 2007. The data is sorted by gender, race-ethnicity, type of college initially attended, and type of high school from which these students graduated.
