Where do California's high school graduates begin college?

Overall, about 72% enroll in a college program within 12 months, but the rate varies by gender and by race/ethnicity. College-going rates are notably high among Asian students.

Figure shows percentages of the 442,000 California students who graduated from high school in 2023 and enrolled in college within the next 12 months. All rates are given as a share of high school completers (students who graduate from a California public high school with regular diplomas plus with GEDs and similar certificates of completion).
