Differences among Young Adults Six Years after Graduation by Education Service Receipt in High School. Launching into Adulthood
Durham, Rachel E.; Connolly, Faith
Baltimore Education Research Consortium
This brief is the seventh in Baltimore Education Research Consortium's (BERC's) "Launching into Adulthood" series, which examines the trajectories of Baltimore graduates over six years. BERC established a partnership with Baltimore's Promise and the Maryland Longitudinal Data System (MLDS) that has made it possible to examine both college and earnings outcomes among City Schools graduates. This brief considers graduates six years after high school, and whether college enrollment, degree completion, median annual earnings, and the percent earning a livable wage differ according to education service receipt in 12th grade. Specifically, the authors compare outcomes for graduates whose family income made them eligible for free or reduced-price meals ("lower-income"), graduates who received special education services, and the average for the graduating cohort as a whole. As background, about 60% of the cohort were from lower income families and 12% received special education services in 12th grade. [Support from Baltimore's Promise allowed BERC to complete this research.]
