Requestor
Carol Bill
Requested Information
I am requesting a list of four-year universities offering admission to all Howard County High Schools graduating classes of 2015-2020 and the number of students accepted to each in the form of a spreadsheet. Please separate the data by year of graduation, with each High School in a separate spreadsheet.
I found a few schools data on your request log, but need all HCPSS high schools.
Thank you very much.

Please find attached data on college and university applications, acceptances, and attendance as self-reported by graduating seniors for SY2020 and available in our School Counseling tracking system. Please note, this information may not fully represent the class of 2020 due to COVID closures as staff typically follows-up directly with all students in the building to help them complete the survey. Additionally, reporting by the program used for this tracking has changed since prior years. The “Average_Acceptances_per_Student” should be read as the percent of students accepted from those who applied (not attending). HCPSS has made substantial efforts to ensure the accuracy of this information; however, data collection and reporting is consistently subject to change. Please be mindful when comparing data as many variances can occur between reports based on date pulled, parameters used, categories included, etc.
