AGENDA ITEM #1 COLLEGE GOING RATE
METHODOLOGY New methodology focuses on students that (1) graduated from an Arkansas public school district in Academic Year 2015-2016, (2) are first-time entering students in 2016 Fall term, and (3) are Arkansas residents. This new methodology more closely follows that used by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). However, there are three differences: 1. NCES filters by the age range of 16-24 ADHE ignores age but focuses on high school graduates from the previous year as most all high school graduates are between the ages of 16 and 24; 2. NCES includes GED students as their report is based on a survey. ADHE does not have data on annual graduating classes of GED students, therefore, GED students are excluded; and 3. Since the NCES report is a survey, it 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. ADHE does obtain data on graduating classes of Arkansas public high schools (from the Arkansas Department of Education). Therefore, the new methodology is a College-Going Rate calculation for Arkansas public high school graduates only attending college in Arkansas.
