I will take one indicator, for the time being: Facts In Brief: More High School Competers Are Enrolling in College Immediately After Graduation, NCES Data Show 6/12/00 • Vol. 49, No. 11 The percentage of high school graduates who enroll in college in the fall immediately after graduation continues to increase, according to data in the latest edition of the National Center for Education Statistics' The Condition of Education. The percentage of high school graduates who enrolled in college immediately after high school rose from 49 percent in 1972, to 66 percent in 1998. Overall, the percentage of female high school graduates who enrolled in college immediately after high school rose from 46 percent in 1972, to 69 percent in 1998. For males, the rate was 53 percent in 1972 and 62 percent in 1998. The percentage of female high school graduates who enrolled in a two-year college immediately after high school rose from 15 percent in 1973 (the first year such data is available) to 24 percent in 1998, while the rate for those attending a four-year institution rose from 28 percent to 45 percent.
