Where Alaskans Go After Graduating From High School

Where Alaskans Go After Graduating from High School is the first product of the Alaska Education and Workforce Outcomes Data System a cross-sector collaboration between the Alaska Commission on Postsecondary Education, the Department of Education and Early Development, the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, and the University of Alaska. It finds that low-income and Alaska Native students are more likely to stay in Alaska than students with more social or economic mobility, and that high-achieving students are more likely to leave the state to attend out-of-state colleges.

This proof-of-concept report provides a longitudinal understanding of Alaska students' postsecondary decisions, and offers decision-makers a benchmark for strategic, effective investments in Alaska's education moving forward.
