Idaho College ‘Go On’ Rate Only 52%

Idaho’s go-on rate apparently is going downward. That’s the startling, sobering message from the latest round of numbers from the National Student Clearinghouse . Just under 52 percent of Idaho’s 2013 high school graduates have enrolled in two- or four-year college, according to the current clearinghouse numbers. This represents a drop from Idaho’s lackluster 2012 numbers, when 54 percent of graduates decided to continue their education. The apparent drop comes as Idaho policymakers have made postsecondary attendance a centerpiece education issue/ Kevin Richert , Idaho Statesman. More here .
