New Data Shows Sharp Decline in Students Moving Directly from High School to College
Olympia?Over the past decade, Washington?s high school graduation rate has steadily increased, but the proportion of the state?s graduates who enroll directly in college has not. The direct enrollment rate that once hovered around 60 percent dropped to 50 percent during the COVID-19 pandemic. Washington?s direct enrollment rate is lower than the national average, and the decline in direct enrollment was more significant than the national trend.
