National Student Clearing House Data
Going back to the Graduating Class of 2010
Will follow the students for 6 years
Will keep track of students even when they change institutions
Is the most comprehensive data available

10. However, this is the percent of students who GRADUATED from high school that went on to pursue post secondary schooling. To get the effective post secondary rate, we must subtract out those students who did not graduate from high school.
Percent of students who graduated from high school in the Class of 2010:
80.9%
Students who graduated, went to post secondary school and returned or graduated in year two:
55.1%
Thus the effective post secondary rate is:
44.6%
Remember…Kansas needs to have at least 70-75% of high school graduates to obtain post secondary credentials to fill the available jobs in our state
The green area represents the percent of the graduating Class of 2010 in Kansas who went on to pursue post secondary education.
Percent of students who started one year earlier in post secondary education and returned somewhere for a second year
Percent of students who started one year earlier in post secondary education and have graduated (most likely a certificate or associate degree)
Let’s focus on six years after high school graduation for the Class of 2010
Added together, 55.1% of students who started their post secondary career either graduated or came back in the second year.

14. Kansas leads the world in the success of each student..
A NEW Vision for Kansas….
Kansas leads the world in the success of each student..
Based on the feedback received across the state, the board has adopted as its new vision for education “Kansas leads the world in the success of each student.”
We intend to challenge the status quo, move away from placing emphasis on a single test score and focus more on helping each student identify and achieve their career aspirations.
Teachers, administrators and support staff already are doing great work preparing Kansas’ students for success, and this new vision stands to unite our efforts across the state. You will hear us say we need to rethink how our schools are asked to operate. From a state perspective, we will look at every requirement to determine if and how we are supporting or impeding our schools’ abilities to address the needs of each child.

15. Today’s students are the future workforce and future leaders of Kansas
Today’s students are the future workforce and future leaders of Kansas. Kansans Can achieve anything and, together, Kansans Can lead the world in the success of each student.
