Core Indicator
Percent of students who attain a post-secondary credential within five years of graduating
Challenge
Only 31 percent of the 2010 graduating class had earned a post-secondary degree or credential by 2015.
Why It Matters
Those with at least a bachelor’s degree will earn about 2.5 times more over their lifetime than those with only a high school diploma. Society benefits from a more educated population, including lower instances of child abuse, lower rates of criminal behavior, and fewer teen pregnancies among children of college-educated parents.
