Another ‘Last’ For Idaho Education

Some 2010 national figures are generating some new and unsavory buzz about Idaho education. The study found that Idaho’s college attendance rate — or, more exactly, the rate of high school graduates immediately going onto college — ranks last in the nation. Idaho’s rate was 45.1 percent. The national average was 62.5 percent. And the state topping the nation, oddly enough, was Mississippi, at 78.8 percent/Kevin Richert, The EDge. More here.

Question: Did you go immediately from high school to college?
