You know, there's quite a lot of information in the report. If you read it, you might learn something.
Research Question 8: What proportion of the MCPS full-time fall college enrollees earned
a bachelor’s degree or higher within six years after high school among demographic
groups?
Based on data available for the nation and Maryland for 2001–2003 graduates who enrolled in
the fall full time, 67–68% of MCPS enrollees earned a bachelor’s degree or higher within six
years, compared with 56% in the nation and 64–65% in Maryland.
For MCPS 2001–2004 full-time fall college enrollees, 67% earned a bachelor’s degree or higher
within six years after high school graduation, including 49% of African American, 71% of
Asian, 43% of Hispanic, and 74% of White students.
Of MCPS 2001–2004 full-time fall college enrollees, 62% of males and 72% of females earned a
bachelor’s degree or higher within six years after high school graduation. The gender gap was
about 10 percentage points for full-time fall enrollees every year.
Of MCPS 2001–2004 full-time fall college enrollees who received FARMS services in Grade 12,
42% earned a bachelor’s degree or higher within six years after high school graduation. Of
MCPS 2001–2004 full-time fall college enrollees who received special education services in
Grade 12, 41% earned a bachelor’s degree or higher within six years after high school and
among full-time fall college enrollees who received ESOL services in Grade 12, 26% earned a
bachelor’s degree or higher within six years after high school.
For the full-time fall college enrollees across the years, the bachelor’s degree attainment rates
within six years remained relatively stable for students who received FARMS and special
education services; however, there was a decrease of 11 percentage points for students who
received ESOL services in Grade 12.
