College Enrollment, Persistence, and Degree Attainment for High School Graduates in Montgomery County Public Schools, Maryland

Description:

This report presents college enrollment, persistence, and degree attainment for Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) graduating classes from 2001 to 2010. The MCPS results are based on student-level data from StudentTracker Data of the National Student Clearinghouse as of May 2011. The use of longitudinal data from high school graduation to postsecondary degree attainment presents detailed picture of college success of MCPS graduates.

Recommendations:

  • college readiness of MCPS Hispanic students to improve their college enrollment, persistence, and degree attainment;
  • college readiness of MCPS ESOL students to improve their college enrollment, persistence, and degree attainment; and
  • factors that may have led to an increase in the fall college enrollment after high school for MCPS African American graduates.
