Condition of Education Spotlights Difference in Attainment by Socioeconomic Class
Last week the Department of Education released its annual report, The Condition of Education, on education across all ages and levels. This year included a special highlight section on postsecondary attainment rates based on socioeconomic class. According to the report, 14% of students with low SES earned a bachelor’s degree within 8 years of graduation from high school, in comparison to 29% of middle SES students and 60% of upper SES students.
