Fewer Black high school seniors expect to attend community college this fall than before the pandemic as more students find higher education out of their reach, a national survey has found.
The annual poll of 25,000 graduating seniors, released Monday by the nonprofit education research firm, found that the percentage planning to attend two-year colleges dropped from 25% in 2019 to 20% this year. But the share of those planning to attend a four-year college held steady at 46% for the third consecutive year.
“While the diminished community college expectation trends for all three of these groups raise serious concerns, they are particularly alarming for Black students who are increasingly underrepresented on America’s college campuses, and particularly at community colleges,” the report said. May 1 is the official deadline for colleges to send out acceptance letters. But most schools ignore that date and keep processing applications throughout the summer, making the survey a more accurate predictor of enrollment trends for education insiders.
For American Indians and other indigenous students, 58% want to go to college and 44% believe they will go, a gap of 14 points. Latino students reported a nine-point gap, while Black students have an eight-point difference.
