  How did postsecondary enrollment vary by student demographic groups?    
  Comparison by student groups.   Postsecondary enrollment increased for all race/ethnicity groups in the  Class of 2011, compared with comparable data for Class of 2010. Postsecondary enrollment rates increased  the most for Hispanic and African American graduates (i.e., by 19 and 15 percentage points, respectively).  The postsecondary enrollment of limited English proficient (LEP) graduates increased by 9 percentage  points for the Class of 2011, compared with postsecondary enrollment of LEP graduates in the Class of 2010.  Postsecondary enrollment for Career and Technical Education (CTE) students and non-CTE students was  similar for the Class of 2011. Economically disadvantaged students were more likely to be enrolled in a  postsecondary institution if they also were categorized as a CTE concentrator ( Pazera, 2011 ).

  Did enrollment vary according to “predictors of postsecondary enrollment?  
          Predictors of enrollment.  DRE staff conducted a  study  (2008)  using data from the AISD Class of 2007 to  learn which student characteristics predicted enrollment in a postsecondary institution. This study was  modeled after research from the  Chicago Consortium of School Research .  Overall, the percentages of  graduates who met predictive criteria and enrolled in a postsecondary institution the following year were  greater than those who did not meet  predictive criteria. This figure lists the predictors from the AISD  predictive study that continued to be strong influences on postsecondary enrolment applied to the Class of  2011.   Percentage of Graduates Enrolled

  What was the “aspiration gap” for the Class of 2011?      
        Aspiration gap . Aspiring to go to college requires students to complete preparation milestones. Assuming  students have been preparing academically, district staff make concerted efforts to help seniors complete  college admissions and financial aid applications.   On the  district’s senior exit survey * , most seniors  reported making college enrollment plans and applying to college. However, the percentages of students  who completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or enrolled in a postsecondary  institution were lower than those who planned to enroll or filled out a college application.  
          Most students who completed postsecondary enrollment milestones enrolled in a postsecondary  institution. FAFSA completion appears to be an important factor in their enrollment, given that 84% of  graduates who enrolled had completed a FAFSA .

          College freshman persistence rate . Eighty-one percent of graduates from the Class of 2010 who enrolled  in a postsecondary institution the year after high school enrolled for a second year. Of the AISD  graduates who did not enroll in a postsecondary institution the year after high school graduation, 22%  were found enrolled for the first time in the second year. Including both returning and first-time enrolling  students from the Class of 2010, 59% were enrolled in a postsecondary institution in the second year after  high school graduation, an overall decrease of 3% from the previous year.

  Did postsecondary persistence differ among 2010 graduates at the local, state, and national levels?    
  Local, state, and national persistence rates . AISD’s college persistence rate exceeded state and national  persistence rates of college freshmen. The  National Center for Higher Education Management Systems   reported 77% of first-year college students from the Class of 2010 across the nation returned to college  for a second year, and in Texas, 73% of first-year college students from the Class of 2010 returned to  college for a second year. Overall, students enrolled in 4-year institutions had higher return rates the  following year than did students who were enrolled in 2-year institutions.

  Persistence by student groups.  Rates of enrollment in a postsecondary institution in the second year  after high school graduation varied among student groups within the Class of 2010. White, Asian/Pacific  Islander, and American Indian/Alaskan Native students had higher persistence rates than did African  American and Hispanic students. Persistence rates among economically-disadvantaged, limited English  proficient (LEP), and special education (SPED) students were lower than for students not meeting those  criteria.  While the relationship is not clearly understood at this time, it should be noted that greater  percentages of Hispanic, economically disadvantaged, CTE concentrator, and LEP graduates enrolled in 2- year institutions than did their counterparts, and the persistence rates of all students who attended 2- year institutions were lower than for those attending 4-year institutions.
