Summary from Selected Statistics
• West Virginia is improving in high school attainment but not in
bachelor’s degree attainment.
• West Virginia is improving substantially on most measures of
preparation for college
• On the student pipeline, there is considerable loss at each stage
of transition. Compared to other states, WV performs relatively
well in high school completion – but needs to improve collegegoing and completion rates.
• Population projections suggest that WV will need to consider
non-traditional ways of increasing educational attainment
because of a substantial decline in the traditional college-age
population and high school graduates.
• The population projections by ethnicity indicate that the only
growth in the younger population (ages 0 to 44) will be among
Hispanics.
• There are substantial disparities in college participation across
counties and regions and participation among non-traditional
age adults is extremely low relative to other states.
