This eighth annual report updates the key indicators of high school to college transition, persistence, and completion outcomes for high school graduates of 2019 and earlier. In addition, this year's report features a first look at the effect of COVID-19 on the immediate college enrollment rate of the high school graduating class of 2020. The COVID-19 Special Analysis 2020 estimates the impact of the pandemic on high school graduate numbers as well as the immediate postsecondary enrollment pathways for the graduating class of 2020. Analyses are based on a fixed panel of both high schools and colleges (the same subset of high schools and the same subset of colleges that reported data to the Clearinghouse within the same early time frame across all three comparison years, 2018-2020). The preliminary High School Benchmarks report for the class of 2020 shows that graduates of higher-income, low minority, and suburban high schools continue to demonstrate higher levels of college enrollment than their counterparts from low-income, high minority, and urban high schools. During COVID-19, enrollment gaps not only remain, but disparities are magnified particularly for students from low-income high schools. Based on preliminary data, there is little evidence that COVID-19 impacted high school graduation rates, but emerging evidence that the pandemic has impacted immediate college enrollments considerably, especially for low-income students, and particularly their access to public colleges.
