h.s. training Only 63% of students enrolled in a 4-yr. college
complete a bachelor’s degree within 6 years Up to 25% of students who leave college do so
during or immediately after the first-year 41% of freshmen report successfully meeting the
academic demands from high school to college 50% of college professors report being
“satisfied” by the academic quality of their students
