  42. College-Going Rate AHECB Meeting of July 25, 2014

  43. Rick Jenkins Associate Director, Planning and Accountability

  44. Fourth Year of New Methodology New methodology focuses on students that (1) graduated from an Arkansas public school district in Academic Year 2012-2013, (2) are first-time entering students in 2013 Fall term, and (3) are Arkansas residents. This new methodology more closely follows that used by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). However, there are three differences: 1. NCES filters by the age range of 16-24 – ADHE ignores age but focuses on high school graduates from the previous year as most all high school graduates are between the ages of 16 and 24; 2. NCES includes GED students as their report is based on a survey. ADHE does not have data on annual graduating classes of GED students, therefore, GED students are excluded; and 3. Since the NCES report is a survey, it may include private high schools and home school students. ADHE has no data on annual graduating classes of private high schools or home school students. But ADHE does obtain data on graduating classes of Arkansas public high schools (from the Arkansas Department of Education). Therefore, the new methodology is a College-Going Rate calculation for Arkansas public high school graduates only.

  45. Why Did the Methodology Change? The Old Methodology Did Not Measure College-Going Rate The old methodology consisted of the Fall student cohort including (1) first-time, (2) full-time, and (3) on-campus that attend an Arkansas public or independent institution after completing high school or GED.

  46. College-Going Rate is Up 1.4%

  47. Arkansas v. Nation NOTE: 2012 Fall is the most recent national College-Going Rate per website of NCES.
