Moving the College Access Needle for the New Majority: Lessons from Leading Communities
Ruiz, Rudy
National College Attainment Network
There are deep and often institutionalized root causes for persistent equity gaps in postsecondary access and attainment in the United States. Many data sources, as well as the dozens of practitioners interviewed for this paper, affirm this. The majority of K-12 public school students are now students of color, and the U.S. Census Bureau estimates the majority of all Americans will be people of color by 2043. As the nation's demographics continue shifting, educators must increase attention and energy on ensuring this new majority is set up to succeed in education and training after high school. This paper provides insights to guide the work of stakeholders throughout the system: those in classrooms and schoolhouses, district offices, partner organizations, and statehouses. The four school districts profiled in this report offer valuable lessons and insights into different approaches to supporting students along postsecondary pathways.
