Measuring the Impact of High School Counselors on College Enrollment. Research Brief
Hurwitz, Michael; Howell, Jessica
College Board
This brief examines high school counselor staffing counts relative to four-year college enrollment rates. Recent evidence from a national survey of counselors provides support for claims by counselors and school administrators that current counselor staffing levels are suboptimal. An additional high school counselor is predicted to induce a 10 percentage point increase in four-year college enrollment. A technical appendix is included.
