WASHINGTON, March 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A majority of public schools offering any of grades 9 or above (9-12 schools) say they do a "good," "very good," or "excellent" job preparing students for college (77 percent) and the workforce (86 percent), according to new data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), the statistical center within the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences (IES). For college preparation, 47 percent of schools overall rated themselves as doing a "very good" or "excellent" job, whereas the percentage was lower for schools in high-poverty neighborhoods and schools with fewer than 300 students (30 percent each), and higher for schools that enroll 1,000 or more students (74 percent).
