Description

A National Student Clearinghouse data service that enables states, districts, and schools to examine former K–12 students’ postsecondary enrollment, persistence, and completion outcomes.

Components

• National Student Clearinghouse StudentTracker for High Schools: A service that provides states, districts, and schools with postsecondary outcomes data on former K-12 students. The brief states that services such as StudentTracker "provide states, districts, and schools with the capability to examine college enrollment, persistence, and completion data on students they previously served in K–12 settings." It is the data source the brief builds its guidance around, enabling K-12 agencies to track the college outcomes of their former students. (Luke Heinkel et al. (2015))

Claims

• K-12 officials increasingly attend to postsecondary outcomes but many are unsure how best to use the data [+W]
• Raw postsecondary data are useful for descriptive purposes but may not give educators substantial new information beyond high school indicators [+W]
