The report "College-Going Rates for Nebraska Public High Schools for the High School Class of 2009-2010" presents the estimated college-going rates for each of Nebraska’s 276 public high schools that awarded regular high school diplomas in 2009-2010. These estimates are based on data obtained from the Nebraska Department of Education (NDE) and the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC).
Bancroft-Rosalie School reported 22 graduates and 16 attending college from the class of 2009-10. That is a 72.7% attendance rate. That places us above the state average of 71.9%, but not at our goal of 100% college attendance. Other area school rates for 09-10 include Pender- 86%, Wisner-Pilger- 79%, West Point-Beemer- 75%, and Walthill 8%.
In 2007-08 the rates were Bancroft-Rosalie: 78%, Lyons-Decatur: 78%, Pender: 80%, West Point Beemer: 76%, Wisner-Pilger 78% and Walthill 0%.
The National Student Clearinghouse is a not-for-profit organization that serves as a central repository of postsecondary student enrollment, degree and diploma data voluntarily submitted by more than 3,300 colleges and universities. In total, these institutions enroll more than 90% of the college students in the United States.
The National Student Clearinghouse is currently the only reliable source of data for estimating the college continuation rates of all of Nebraska’s public high schools. The data obtained from the Clearinghouse are not perfect because some Nebraska high school graduates go to colleges that do not submit their enrollment files to the
Clearinghouse. These would include several beauty schools and some technical colleges like ITT. However, the estimates based on Clearinghouse data are the best available.
