Postsecondary Persistence Profile

Persistence rates measure how many postsecondary enrollees return for a second year of postsecondary studies. Overall persistence rates in Texas postsecondary institutions are generally high, but there are important disparities to note. In addition to differing persistence rates by gender, household income, and race; persistence also varies by full-time versus part-time enrollment status and institution type.

About this data:

E3 Alliance relies primarily on data from the University of Texas Education Research Center (ERC). This data allows for a longitudinal understanding of postsecondary enrollment, persistence, and completion, based on where and when a student graduates from high school. This data pertains to graduates from within the state of Texas who enroll in Texas postsecondary institutions within one year of graduating from high school.

Following are items to note:

The year of the data represents the year of high school graduation. Measuring persistence requires two years to elapse (one year to enroll, and one year to return). The data above shows the 2021 postsecondary persistence status of the class of 2019.



Cohort: First-time 9th grade students who graduate within four years, including students who transfer into Texas public schools


Outcomes that reference data from 2021, 2022, or 2023 do not include San Marcos CISD, due to a data discrepancy.
