Indiana College Equity Report 2021
Indiana Commission for Higher Education
The Indiana Commission for Higher Education has for years acknowledged and addressed the equity and achievement gaps that exist in the state's education pipeline. In 2013, the Commission passed a resolution to close Indiana's educational achievement gaps by 2025. In 2021, gaps are closing, but not quickly enough. Data must be the driving force behind actions to continue closing these gaps. The results of the 2021 College Equity Report highlight the demographics of high school graduates in 2019, their level of academic preparation, college-going rates, metrics of success in early college (2018 graduates) and graduation rates (2020 graduates). Top level findings from this year's report show: (1) Over the last 10 years, Indiana has become more diverse racially and ethnically, and by socioeconomic status. More students are non-White and more come from low-income households today than in recent history; (2) Students who are the least likely to go to college, succeed while there or graduate on time (or at all) are students of color, male students, rural students and low-income students who are not part of the 21st Century Scholars program; and (3) Poverty has a direct impact on college-going rates. Just 35 percent of low-income high school graduates go to college--lower than the statewide college-going average of 59 percent--and far lower than the percentage of higher-income graduates (64 percent) and those low-income graduates in the 21st Century Scholars program (88 percent).
