Whether and where students go to college varies demographically
Share of high school graduates enrolled
SOURCES: California Department of Education, College-Going Rate (CGR) data; National Student Clearinghouse (NSC).
NOTES: Figure shows the college-going rates for students who graduated from high school in the spring of the 2022–23 school year and enrolled in college in 2023–24. All rates are given as a share of high school completers—students who graduate from a California public high school with regular diplomas—as well as non-graduate completers with GEDs and similar certificates (but not those with special education certificates of completion). In some cases, student information is unavailable due to privacy rights. Enrollment rates are adjusted, reflecting imputed rates based on block rates published by NSC.
