Abstract | The report summarizes data on the postsecondary educational experiences of 1980 high school graduates based on three major longitudinal data sets: the National Longitudinal Survey of the 1972 high school class; the High School and Beyond study of 1980 high school seniors; and the High School and Beyond study of 1980 high school sophomores. Findings include the following: (1) about one-third of the graduates of the high school class of 1980 had not enrolled in postsecondary education by 1986; (2) more than half of those high school graduates who began full time at four-year institutions in the fall of 1980 continued as full-time students for four years, while the others either dropped out of postsecondary education or followed an alternative path, such as part-time enrollment or temporarily leaving and then returning to school; (3) more than 80% of 1980 high school graduates who followed an alternative path into postsecondary education enrolled at a community college or other less-than-baccalaureate level institution; (4) 1980 high school graduates who began and continued full-time at four-year institutions earned about 60% of the baccalaureate degrees awarded to 1980 high school graduates by 1986; (5) Black and Hispanic students and students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds who began and continued full-time at four-year institutions were less likely than white students and those from more prosperous backgrounds to have earned a Bachelor's degree by 1986.
