Data I Would Like To Have On College Transition

  Here are some key data elements all states and schools should make public:

  College Prep Courses students taken in high school   in each subject area with break outs for race, ethnicity, and gender 

   Income, race, ethnicity,gender of students who do or do not proceed to college

     Number of students from each high school who are placed in remedial courses

     Persistence in college after the first year from each high school and college

       Transfer rates from 2 year to four year colleges for each two year college

      college completion rates after 6 years for 2 year colleges and 10 years for 4 year colleges

       measures of curricular alignment between high schools and first year college core courses

  Very few regions or states can produce this kind of data.
