Postsecondary Completion Profile
The journey to postsecondary completion starts early on. Research shows that full-day, low-ratio pre-kindergarten, accelerated middle school math completion, and the amount and type of math taken in high school are all associated with higher postsecondary completion rates. When education systems support all students across the Pre-K through postsecondary continuum, they are more likely to complete a postsecondary credential and achieve their postsecondary and career goals.
