Title:	Effects of students’ middle school and high school experiences on completion of the bachelor’s degree: How can school counselors make a difference?
Source:	http://www.umass.edu/schoolcounseling/PDFs/Rese...
Date:	2004
Organization:	Center for School Counseling Outcome Research
Short Description:	Trusty used NELS:88 data (National Education Longitudinal Study: 1988-2000, 2002) to examine the effects of several middle-school and high-school variables on completion versus non-completion of the bachelor’s degree.
Annotation:	Trusty used NELS:88 data (National Education Longitudinal Study: 1988-2000, 2002) to examine the effects of several middle-school and high-school variables on completion versus non-completion of the bachelor’s degree. Data spanned across a 12-year time period—from when students were in the eighth grade to when they were eight years out of high school. All 5,257 young people in Trusty’s study had attended college soon after high school, and all were pursuing the bachelor’s. Eight years after their senior year of high school, 53% of participants had realized their goals of completing the bachelors and 47% had not.
