For every 100* ninth graders who begin high school, 78 will finish in Alaska. 32 will enter college and 21 of those will still be enrolled their sophomore years. Only 10 of these students will graduate college within six years. <\/strong>
This is the pipeline of Alaska students we are counting on to transition into the Alaska workforce. What\u2019s more \u2013 Alaskans have consistently ranked at the low end of the scale with regard to postsecondary education. Many Alaskans are foregoing the rewards of higher rates of postsecondary attainment, which are both public, and private.<\/p>\n
