Baltimore College Fact Book: Data Digest of College Access Outcomes
Durham, Rachel E.; Smith, Zyrashae; Cronister, Curt
Baltimore Education Research Consortium
This report is a compendium of college access-related data that is intended to provide a detailed overview of Baltimore City Schools (City Schools) students' experiences preparing for, enrolling in, and completing postsecondary education. Although constrained in its scope, this report is offered in light of the fact that, more and more, postsecondary education imparts adults an advantage in the labor force and for upward social mobility. The hope is that the information contained in this report can help practitioners and policymakers make data-informed decisions concerning college access supports for Baltimore youth. As with prior Baltimore Education Research Consortium (BERC) college access products, this report details the percent of graduating students who enrolled in college during the first fall after high school graduation, the share going to 2-year and 4-year colleges, and the share who completed degrees. The report also presents information regarding graduates' college applications, Free Application for Federal Students Aid (FAFSA) completions, and summer melt. In addition, the current report features college enrollment and degree completion rates for first-time 9th grade cohorts, providing a look into a 10-year timeframe from high school entry to on-time college degree completion. [This project received additional support from the France-Merrick Foundation.]
