COLLEGE-GOING RATE OF
PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS

AGENDA ITEM NO. 4
REMEDIATION SUPPLEMENT
Methodology
has
Changed
Methodology Has Changed
New methodology focuses on students that:
• graduated from an Arkansas public school district in
Academic Year 2009-2010,
• are first-time entering students, and
• are Arkansas residents.
This new methodology more closely follows that used by
the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
Methodology
has
Changed
Former Data Points
Fall student cohort included
• first-time,
• full-time, and
• on-campus that attend an Arkansas public or
independent institution after completing high school or
GED.
The Old Methodology Did Not Measure College-Going Rate
Methodology
has
Changed
Three Major Differences
1. NCES filters by the age range of 16-24 – ADHE focuses
instead on high school graduates from the previous year, based
on data provided by the Arkansas Department of Higher
Education
2. NCES includes GED students; however, ADHE does not have
data on annual graduating classes of GED students
3. The NCES survey may include private high schools and home
school students. ADHE has no data on annual graduating classes
of private high schools or home school students.
Therefore, the new methodology is a College-Going Rate
calculation for Arkansas public high school graduates only.
