College Readiness Report 2019 (2017 High School Graduates)
Indiana Commission for Higher Education
The Indiana Commission for Higher Education's College Readiness Reports are designed to provide information on students entering college. The reports encompass the entire first year of college for students who graduated high school the previous academic year and enrolled in college within one year. The reports also provide data beyond freshman year, from persistence to completion within six years. This report is broken into four sections: (1) College Going; (2) Enrollment Detail; (3) Academic Preparation; and (4) Student Performance. In this report, 93% of students with an Honors Diploma enroll in college within a year of graduating high school, however only 53% of those with a Core 40 Diploma and 18% of students with a General diploma did so. Among 2017 high school graduates, 64% earned Advanced Placement (AP) and/or dual credit--an increase of 2 percentage points in one year and 17 percentage points in 5 years. Over two-thirds of Hoosier students who go directly to college are pursuing a bachelor's degree, while 28% are pursuing an associate degree and roughly 3% are working to earn a certificate or other award. Not detailed in the College Readiness Report are students who do not go directly to college: these students pursue certificates and associate degrees in large numbers. Among 2017 high school graduates, less than 12% needed remediation in college compared to 13% of 2016 high school graduates. Roughly 7% of all college enrollees needed remediation in math, 3% needed remediation in English, and another 1% needed remediation in both subjects. About 79% of Asian students, 65% of White students, 57% of Black students and 53% of Hispanic students go straight to college after high school. While Black and Hispanic students represent the fastest growing high school populations, college-going rates remain lower than their peers. While college-going rates have slightly fallen overall, more 21st Century Scholars are going to college. Among 2017 Scholars, 86% went directly to college--an increase of four percentage points in one year. [For the previous year's report, see ED588652.]
