Like the fall report, outcomes presented here were calculated using postsecondary student records from the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC), which were combined with Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) records and publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Census Bureau.  \nA summary of current research on the average financial benefits of a college education is available in the full report. In brief:  \n• College graduates earn more on average and are less likely to be unemployed than their peers without a college education, though a college education is not a guarantee of financial security or job satisfaction (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2023; Burning Glass Institute & Strada Institute for the Future of Work, 2024; Ma & Pender, 2023) .  \n• The average college graduate sees a positive and often substantial return on their investment of money, time, and effort, even after accounting for high costs (Tamborini et al., 2015; Zhang et al., 2024) .  \n• Bachelor’s degree graduates have higher average earnings and lower unemployment than those who complete associate degrees or postsecondary certificates. However, pursuing a bachelor’s degree carries more up-front costs and therefore more  \nup-front financial risk if a student starts but does not finish college (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2023; Lockwood & Weber, 2023; Ma & Pender, 2023) .  \n• These are average outcomes, and the financial payoff of a college education varies across degree fields and can differ widely for individual students (Ma & Pender, 2023; Zhang et al., 2024) .  \nThis supplement expands on the fall 2024 report in three ways:  \n• More recent data: These analyses incorporate newly released NSC data, with first-year enrollment available through the WCPSS Class of 2023, secondyear persistence through the Class of 2022, and sixyear degree completion through the Class of 2018.  \n• Milestones for additional student groups: The fall report presented the rates at which students reach key college milestones disaggregated by high school, race, gender, and neighborhood financial security. This supplement adds outcomes for multilingual learners (ML), Career & Technical Education (CTE) concentrators, students receiving special education services, and students identified as Academically or Intellectually Gifted (AIG) .  \n• New outcomes: In addition to reporting how many WCPSS graduates complete a degree, certificate, or diploma (the college completion rate), the supplement includes an additional focus on how long WCPSS graduates take to finish college (the time to degree completion) .  \nData  \nAs noted in the fall report, outcomes in this report are calculated using enrollment and degree records compiled by the National Student Clearinghouse, a nongovernmental repository of postsecondary enrollment and degree records for full-and part-time students at  \npublic and private, in-state and out-of-state, and twoand four-year colleges nationwide. NSC data currently available to WCPSS includes college enrollment and completion records for graduates from the high school Classes of 2006 to 2023. Table 1 presents the definitions used to calculate each major outcome. It is reprinted from the full report, with the addition of time to degree.  \nWake County Public School System | Data, Research, and Accountability Department 2  \nCollege Outcomes ofWCPSS Graduates, 2006-2023: Spring Supplement  \nTrends Over Time  \nTrends Over Time  \nFigures 1 through 5 on the following pages present trends over time in enrollment, persistence, transfer, and completion.
