Executive Summary:
This month, more than 95,000 Pennsylvania high school graduates from the class of 2007 plan to begin their postsecondary education. Some will attend 2– or 4– year colleges, some will go to community colleges or technical schools, and some will go directly into workforce training or apprentice programs.

How prepared are they to succeed? Will they need to take remedial courses? Will they return to postsecondary education after their first year? Will they graduate or complete their training program and gain a degree or credential? Will they have successful careers that provide a family-sustaining wage?

Young people’s options and opportunities are severely limited if they do not have the academic background necessary to pursue education and training beyond high school. No student should graduate from high school in Pennsylvania without achieving the skills needed to continue his or her education and job training.
