How Strong is the Education Pipeline?

In New York, for every 100 ninth grade students…

…57 students graduate from high school four years later.

…41 students immediately enter college.

…31 students are still enrolled in their second year.

…19 students in New York, graduate with either an associate’s degree within three years or a bachelor’s degree within six years.

More students will graduate

from high school and

college.
