Durham & Juan B. Cortes  \nThis brief offers an updated look at the postsecondary and workforce destinations during the first fall after high school among Baltimore City Public Schools (City Schools) graduates.i A previous  study published in 2018 examined outcomes for the class of 2009, showing that slightly over half of graduates were enrolled in some form of postsecondary education (2-year and 4-year colleges), about one-fifth were formally employed and not in college, and about one-quarter were neither enrolled in postsecondary education nor in the workforce.  \nAdditionally, for the first time this brief offers a state-wide comparative look at the percent of high school graduates who in the fall following high school were neither enrolled in college anywhere in the United States nor found in the Maryland workforce. Specifically, we report this percentage for school districts in the Baltimore and Washington, D.C. metropolitan areas, Western Maryland, and the northern and southern eastern shore. All data in this brief pertain to the graduating classes of 2009 through 2020.  \nFIRST FALL AFTER GRADUATION  \nGraduates from City Schools moved on to enroll in 4-year or 2-year colleges and into the Maryland workforce immediately after high school at different rates between 2009 and 2020 (Figure 1) . There were two notable shifts in trends that occurred during this period. First, the share of graduates pursuing postsecondary education at 4-year colleges increased over time. There was an initial decline in 4-year college enrollment from 2009 to 2013 and then a steady increase starting in 2014 resulting in most college-enrolled graduates attending 4-year institutions. Second, the share of graduates who were not enrolled and not formally employed in Maryland during the first fall (six months) after graduation decreased significantly over time. Whereas 27% of the class of 2009 were neither enrolled nor employed in Maryland, the percentage decreased steadily each year to only 15% for the class of 2019. This was primarily driven by a larger share of graduates entering the workforce.  \nFigure 1. Percentage of Baltimore City Graduates Enrolled in College or Employed in Maryland the Fall after High School, Classes of 2009 through 2020  \nBaltimore Education Research Consortium  \n1  \n First-Fall Destinations for Baltimore City Schools Graduates in Brief  \nData for the class of 2020 may be anomalous due to COVID-19 shutdowns in fall 2020. The data suggest that COVID-19 altered the trend for college enrollment, particularly at 2-year institutions, resulting in an increased share of graduates neither enrolled in college nor working. More research will be needed to determine whether data for the class of 2021 and later cohorts returned to pre-2020 trends following COVID-19 recovery. Nevertheless, the overall trends suggest a promising reduction in the percentage of graduates either not enrolled in postsecondary education nationally or not engaged in formal work in Maryland following highschool.  \nDISENGAGED GRADUATES: HOW DOES BALTIMORE CITY COMPARE  \nTO OTHER MARYLAND DISTRICTS?  \nThe notable reduction in the percentage of City Schools graduates not pursuing postsecondary education nor formal Maryland employment after high school warrants further contextualization. To determine whether Baltimore City is unique in this trend, Figure 2 displays this data for all Maryland public school districts.  \nFigure 2.
