| 520 | |a Determinants of postsecondary education were examined for high school graduates in 1980 to determine whether minority students achieved good rates of enrollment and attainment; and to assess the relative importance of demographic characteristics, achievement in high school, and students' expectations. Data obtained from the High School and Beyond surveys in 1980, 1982, 1984, and 1986 were used in regressions of students' educational level on five sets of students' characteristics: (1) sex; (2) race; (3) ability; (4) socioeconomic status; and (5) high school grade average. The best predictors of education level were high school grades and ability. Results gave little justification to claims that Blacks and Hispanics have lower access to postsecondary education when students of similar sex, ability, academic performance, and socioeconomic status were compared. Students of different socioeconomic status differed significantly in their postsecondary plans, as though students already knew their economic limitations. Among graduates as a whole, academic ability and socioeconomic status had the most influence on educational attainment in the first 6 years after high school. Whatever the cause of lower attainment rates for students of lower socioeconomic status, the process apparently begins before the end of high school, with reduced expectations. Four data tables are included. (SLD) | ||
