Annotation:This nationwide survey of middle school students reveals some stark contrasts between students’ educational aspirations and their understanding of how to achieve them. 92% said it is likely that they will attend college, but 68% indicated having little or no information about how to choose college-preparatory high school classes. While 93% of students said there is no chance they will drop out of high school and not graduate, 83% know little or nothing about the courses they need to take to graduate high school.
