"The 2014 four-year college enroll- ment rate among CPS high school graduates is 42 per- cent. As shown in Figure 2 , this is up from 33 percent in 2006. In addition, 20 percent of 2014 CPS gradu- ates enrolled in a two-year college, bringing the 2014 combined college enrollment rate to 62 percent."
