Despite the potential benefits of meeting with a counselor, a school's counselor caseloads may affect its students' counseling opportunities.<sup><a href="#_edn4" name="_ednref4" title="">4</a></sup></p> <h3>What percentage of high school students met with a counselor about college? How did this percentage vary by parental education and counselor caseload?</h3> <p>Around 47 percent of 2009 ninth-graders were potential first-generation college students whose parents did not hold a college degree (<a href="https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/hsls09/tables/hscounseling_u1.asp">table U1</a>). These students met with a counselor at a lower rate than did students whose parents held a college degree. Figure 1 shows that 72 percent of students whose parents did not hold a college degree met with a counselor, compared with 76 and 82 percent of students whose parents held an associate’s degree and a bachelor’s degree or higher, respectively.</p> <div> <hr /> <p><strong>Figure 1.

Each caseload category accounts for roughly one-third of the sample in the unweighted data. Low caseload refers to counselors responsible for 40 to 299 students, medium caseload refers to counselors responsible for 300 to 399 students, and high caseload refers to counselors responsible for 400 or more students. The category high school degree or less incudes high school diploma or GED and those who started college but did not complete a degree. Respondents who did not know whether they met with a counselor are excluded from the analyses. These represent approximately 8 percent of weighted cases. <br /> SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) Base year, First Follow-up, and 2013 update.</span></p> <hr /> <p>During the senior year of most of the cohort of 2009 ninth-graders, the average counselor caseload at schools attended by these students<sup><a href="#_edn1" name="_ednref1" title="">5</a></sup> was <a href="https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/hsls09/tables/hscounseling_u2.asp">375 students per counselor</a>. The average caseload at public schools was 388, and the average caseload at private schools was 202.</p> <p>Students attending schools with low counselor caseloads met with a counselor about college at a higher rate than did students at schools with high counselor caseloads, when comparing students whose parents had similar attainment levels. For example, at schools with low caseloads, 79 percent of students whose parents held a high school degree or less met with a counselor about college, compared with 70 percent of these students at schools with high caseloads. This pattern is also true for students at schools with low caseloads compared with medium caseloads (i.e., 86 vs. 76 percent of students whose parents held an associate’s degree and 89 vs. 81 percent of students whose parents held a bachelor’s degree), except among students whose parents held a high school degree or less (79 percent was not statistically different from 74 percent). Finally, students whose parents held a high school degree or less met with a counselor at a lower rate than did students whose parents held a bachelor’s degree or higher in each caseload category (i.e., 79 vs. 89 percent for low caseload schools, 74 vs. 81 percent for medium caseload schools, and 70 vs. 77 percent for high caseload schools).</p> <p>For more information about counselor meetings and college enrollment, check out this Data Point: <a href="https://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2023097">High School Counselor Meetings About College, College Attendance, and Parental Education</a>.</p> <p>This blog post uses data from the <a href="https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/hsls09/">High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09)</a>, a national study of more than 23,000 ninth-graders and their school counselors in fall 2009.

The focus of this year’s report is VET programs, which look very different in the United States compared with many other OECD countries. Unlike in many OECD countries, most high schools in the United States do not offer a separate, distinct vocational track at the upper secondary (high school) level. Instead, vocational education is available as optional career and technical education (CTE) courses throughout high school. Regardless of whether they choose to take CTE courses, all U.S. students who complete high school have the same potential to access postsecondary programs. In other OECD countries, selecting a vocational track at this level may lead to different postsecondary opportunities.

In 2021, some 833,204 foreign students were enrolled in postsecondary programs in the United States, representing 13 percent of the international education market share (<a href="https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/e13bef63-en/1/3/3/6/index.html?itemId=/content/publication/e13bef63-en&_csp_=a4f4b3d408c9dd70d167f10de61b8717&itemIGO=oecd&itemContentType=book#tablegrp-d1e20683-980622759f">Table B6.1</a>).<sup><a href="#_ftn2" name="_ftnref2" title="">2</a></sup> In comparison, the United Kingdom had the second highest number of international students enrolled in postsecondary education in 2021, representing 9 percent of the international education market share. Interestingly, when examining enrollment trends over the past 3 years (2019 to 2021), foreign student enrollment <em>decreased</em> by 143,649 students (15 percent) in the United States but <em>increased</em> by 111,570 students (23 percent) in the United Kingdom. International student enrollment during these years was likely affected by the coronavirus pandemic, which had large impacts on global travel in 2020 and 2021.</p> <p><br /> <em>Education Spending</em></p> <p>U.S. spending on education is relatively high across all levels of education compared with the OECD average. The largest difference is in postsecondary spending, where the United States spent $36,172 per full-time postsecondary student in 2020, the second highest amount after Luxembourg ($53,421) and nearly double the OECD average ($18,105) (<a href="https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/e13bef63-en/1/3/4/1/index.html?itemId=/content/publication/e13bef63-en&_csp_=a4f4b3d408c9dd70d167f10de61b8717&itemIGO=oecd&itemContentType=book#tablegrp-d1e21995-223f9bfa73">Table C1.1</a>).<sup><a href="#_ftn3" name="_ftnref3" title="">3</a></sup> This spending on postsecondary education amounts to 2.5 percent of the U.S. GDP, higher than the OECD average (1.5 percent) (<a href="https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/e13bef63-en/1/3/4/2/index.html?itemId=/content/publication/e13bef63-en&_csp_=a4f4b3d408c9dd70d167f10de61b8717&itemIGO=oecd&itemContentType=book#tablegrp-d1e23002-553c83cda8">Table C2.1</a>).

This report uses data from across the center and from other sources and is designed to help policymakers and the public monitor educational progress. This year’s report includes 47 indicators on topics ranging from prekindergarten through postsecondary education, as well as labor force outcomes and international comparisons.</p> <p><img src="/blogs/nces/image.axd?picture=%2f2020%2f05%2fCOE+cover_cropped_smaller.PNG" style="float: right; margin: 10px;" /></p> <p>The data show that 50.7 million students were enrolled in public elementary and secondary schools (prekindergarten through grade 12) and approximately 5.7 million students were enrolled in private elementary and secondary schools in fall 2017, the most recent year for which data were available. In school year 2017–18, some 85 percent of public high school students graduated on time with a regular diploma. This rate was similar to the previous year’s rate. About 2.2 million, or 69 percent, of those who completed high school in 2018, enrolled in college that fall. Meanwhile, the status dropout rate, or the percentage of 16- to 24-year-olds who were not enrolled in school and did not have a high school diploma or its equivalent, was 5.3 percent in 2018.</p> <p>Total undergraduate enrollment in degree-granting postsecondary institutions in 2018 stood at 16.6 million students. The average net price of college for first-time, full-time undergraduates attending 4-year institutions was $13,700 at public institutions, $27,000 at private nonprofit institutions, and $22,100 at private for-profit institutions (in constant 2018–19 dollars). In the same year, institutions awarded 1.0 million associate’s degrees, 2.0 million bachelor’s degrees, 820,000 master’s degrees, and 184,000 doctor’s degrees.</p> <p>Ninety-two percent of 25- to 34-year-olds in the United States had a high school diploma or its equivalent in 2018. In comparison, the average rate for the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) member countries was 85 percent. Some 49 percent of these individuals in the United States had obtained a postsecondary degree, compared with the OECD average of 44 percent. Similar to previous years, annual median earnings in 2018 were higher for 25- to 34-year-olds with higher levels of education. In 2018, U.S. 25- to 34-year-olds with a bachelor’s or higher degree earned 66 percent more than those with a high school diploma or equivalent.</p> <p><em>The Condition of Education</em> includes an <a href="https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/summary.asp">Executive Summary</a>, an <a href="https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/ataglance.asp">At a Glance</a> section, a <a href="https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/guide.asp">Reader’s Guide</a>, a <a href="https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/glossary.asp">Glossary</a>, and a <a href="https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/sources.asp">Guide to Sources</a>, all of which provide additional background information.

About 1.9 percent of public schools in the United States operate on a shortened-week schedule (less than 5 days per week). Some of the reasons school districts operate schools on such schedules include attracting high-quality teachers and reducing costs. The report finds that shortened school weeks are more prevalent at rural, western, and smaller schools, and this practice varies <a href="https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/ntps/tables/ntps1718_2001132_s1s.asp">by state</a>.</p> <hr /> <p><img src="/blogs/nces/image.axd?picture=%2f2020%2f02%2fData+Points_Figure+1.png" style="cursor: default; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: sans-serif, Arial, Verdana, "Trebuchet MS"; font-size: 13px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" /></p> <hr /> <p>The second report focuses on <a href="https://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2020006">high school start times</a>. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that middle and high schools start at 8:30 a.m. or later to give students the opportunity to get a sufficient amount of sleep. The report looks at average public high school start times by various school characteristics and <a href="https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/ntps/tables/ntps1718_202000602_s1s.asp">state</a>. Findings include the following:</p> <ul> <li>A higher percentage of public high schools in cities (26 percent) than of those in suburban (18 percent), town (13 percent), and rural (11 percent) areas reported a school starting time of 8:30 a.m. or later.<br />  </li> <li>A higher percentage of charter schools (24 percent) than of traditional public schools (17 percent) reported a school starting time of 8:30 a.m. or later.</li> </ul> <p>Both reports are based on data collected by NCES as part of the <a href="https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/ntps/">National Teacher and Principal Survey (NTPS)</a>. NTPS is a nationally representative survey of teachers and principals from public and private schools, and for the public sector, NTPS is state representative. NTPS uses scientifically proven methods to select a small sample of school faculty to provide information about major education issues related to school and staffing characteristics while minimizing the burden on teacher and principal communities. Without the cooperation and participation of districts and their teachers and principals, reports such as these could not be produced.</p> <p> </p> <p><em>By Cris de Brey, NCES</em></p> </section> </article> <article class="post" id="post4"> <header class="post-header"> <h2 class="post-title"> <a href="/blogs/nces/post/the-high-school-and-beyond-midlife-study">The High School and Beyond Midlife Study</a> </h2> <div class="post-info clearfix"> <span class="post-date"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-calendar"></i>February 5, 2020</span> <span class="post-author"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-user"></i><a href="/blogs/nces/author/ncesblogeditor">NCES Blog Editor</a></span> <span class="post-category"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-folder-close"></i><a href="/blogs/nces/category/Findings">Findings</a>, <a href="/blogs/nces/category/General">General</a></span>  <span class="pull-right post-socialmedia"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.twitter.com/share?url=http%3a%2f%2fnces.ed.gov%2fblogs%2fnces%2fpost%2fthe-high-school-and-beyond-midlife-study"><img src="/blogs/Custom/Themes/Standard-New/images/twitter.png" height="24" width="24" alt="Share on Twitter"></a><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http%3a%2f%2fnces.ed.gov%2fblogs%2fnces%2fpost%2fthe-high-school-and-beyond-midlife-study"><img src="/blogs/Custom/Themes/Standard-New/images/facebook.png" height="24" width="24" alt="Share on Facebook"></a><a rel="nofollow" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=http%3a%2f%2fnces.ed.gov%2fblogs%2fnces%2fpost%2fthe-high-school-and-beyond-midlife-study"><img src="/blogs/Custom/Themes/Standard-New/images/googleplus.png" height="24" width="24" alt="Share on Google+"></a></span> </div> </header> <section class="post-body text"> <p>Over the years, NCES has conducted several longitudinal studies that collect information on a representative cohort of high school students and follow the students’ outcomes through postsecondary education and/or entry into the workforce. These studies have led to important research on the educational trajectories of young adults.</p> <p>But what happens after that? A recent data collection provides some answers by following up with survey participants later in life.</p> <p>In 2014–15, the <a href="http://sites.utexas.edu/hsb/">High School and Beyond (HS&B) Midlife Study</a> collected information from a cohort of individuals in their early- to mid-50s, all of whom had first completed an HS&B survey in 1980 when they were in high school. By linking high school survey data with information collected 35 years later, this new collection offers an exciting opportunity to conduct research on the long-term outcomes of education.</p> <p>Some preliminary research using the HS&B Midlife Study shows that high school and college experiences continue to play important roles in individuals’ lives into midlife.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Education </strong><strong>(Grodsky and Doren 2015)</strong></p> <ul> <li>Between the ages of 28 and 50, a majority of cohort members (61 percent) enrolled in some sort of formal education, and in the process, they earned higher level degrees.

In addition,<br />   <ul style="list-style-type:circle;"> <li>Women who earned higher GPAs were employed at higher rates.<br />  </li> <li>Men who scored higher on math achievement tests were employed at higher rates.<br />  </li> </ul> </li> <li>At midlife, the percentage of workers who held jobs with low pay and/or no health or retirement benefits was higher for women than for men, even among workers with similar levels of educational attainment. This gender gap was smaller among people who had taken advanced math coursework in high school (i.e., Algebra II or above).<br />  </li> <li>Across levels of education, higher percentages of women than men experienced economic insecurity at midlife, as indicated by their perceived ability to pay for a large unexpected expense in the near-term. The percentage of women experiencing midlife economic insecurity was lower for those with a college degree than for those without a college degree. Also,<br />   <ul style="list-style-type:circle;"> <li>For people without a college degree, higher math achievement test scores were associated with lower rates of economic insecurity, even after controlling for work, health, and family characteristics at midlife.<br />  </li> <li>A lower percentage of women who had taken college preparatory math coursework in high school were economically insecure at midlife, regardless of whether they had completed a bachelor’s degree.<br />  </li> <li>A lower percentage of married women than unmarried women were economically insecure.
