Knocking at the College Door: Projections of High School Graduates by State and Race/Ethnicity, 1992 to 2022The March 2008 release of Knocking at the College Door marks the 7th edition of WICHE's projections of high school graduates. The report, which has a history reaching back over 30 years, is recognized widely as the most comprehensive and reliable data source on the future size and composition of high school graduating classes across the country. It also serves as a vital tool for effective educational planning and policymaking. The 7th edition includes data on enrollments and graduates by state and for major racial/ethnic groups covering the period from 1991-92 through 2021-22. Knocking at the College Door is intended for use by policymakers, legislators, governors' office staff, state agencies (especially SHEEO offices, state education departments, and agencies concerned with workforce and economic development), school districts, individual public and nonpublic schools, public and nonpublic institutions of higher education, librarians, and educational researchers, among others. The 7th edition was made possible, in part, through the generous support of ACT, Inc., and the College Board. This web page provides links to the following:
"This report helps to quantify the major changes in the
size of our student population and its demographic
makeup for the years ahead by projecting the number of
high school graduates for each state and the nation. It is targeted at a wide range
of users, including researchers, planners, policymakers,
businesspeople, and education leaders. In providing these
projections, we hope to stimulate more questions and
research concerning how we can meet the challenges of
educating our changing population." |
