This research report is a preliminary assessment of college advising needs in nine target school districts surrounding the Houston Independent School District: "Pasadena," "Galena Park," "Sheldon," "Humble," "Aldine," "Cypress-Fairbanks," "Spring Branch," "Alief," and "Katy ISD." We present our findings based on publicly available information from district and state sources, data from state agencies, and additional information gathered from phone interviews with district personnel. We report three primary conclusions: (1) districts struggle with limited documentation and/or accessibility of college application and enrollment rates, (2) there is a strong need for increased post-secondary advising services and (3) there is a strong need for more equitable distribution of services across high school campuses.
