Meeting of the OKLAHOMA STATE REGENTS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION March 27, 2025 AGENDA ITEM \#19: High School Indicators Report. SUBJECT: Possible action to acknowledge receipt of the 2023 High School Indicators Report. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the State Regents acknowledge receipt of the 2023 High School Indicators Report. BACKGROUND: Section 13 of Senate Bill No. 183 (SB 183) was enacted in 1989 by the Oklahoma Legislature to establish a program designed to evaluate the performance of individual schools and school districts in the state of Oklahoma. This program not only requires multiple types of evaluation by the Oklahoma State Department of Education (SDE), but also requires that the individual schools and districts be notified of these evaluations, and that the general public also be advised as to the “effectiveness” of individual schools or districts. In response to the directive of SB 183, beginning in 1995, the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education (OSRHE) has provided the following four reports annually: 1. High School to College-Going Rates for Oklahoma High School Graduates to Oklahoma Colleges and Universities; 2. Headcount, Semester Hours, and Grade Point Average (GPA) Report; 3. Mean ACT Scores by Oklahoma High School Site; and 4. Developmental Education (Remediation) Rates for Oklahoma High School Graduates in Oklahoma Public Higher Education (beginning in 1995) . In compliance with SB 183, OSRHE will transmit these data to the Office of Educational Quality and Accountability. POLICY ISSUES: These reports are consistent with OSRHE’s policy. ANALYSIS: High School to College-Going Rates Report According to SDE, 43,946 students graduated from Oklahoma’s public high schools during the 2022-23 academic year. Of these graduates, 15,672 (35.7%) enrolled as first-time students at an Oklahoma college or university in Fall 2023, reflecting a 0.9 percentage point increase from the previous year . An additional 593 students (1.3%) enrolled in an Oklahoma institution in Spring 2024. In late 2024, OSRHE began utilizing StudentTracker, a data system from the National Student Clearinghouse, to track Oklahoma public high school graduates who enrolled in out-of-state colleges and universities. This new data source revealed that 2,739 graduates (6.2%) attended an out-of-state institution in Fall 2023, with an additional 431 students (0.1%) enrolling in Spring 2024. Table 1 presents five-year trends in college-going rates for Oklahoma high school graduates who enrolled at an in-state institution. Table 1.

The total number of high school graduates; 2. The number of graduates who went to an in-state college or university in Fall 2023; 3. The number of graduates who went to an in-state college or university at any time during the 2023- 24 academic year; 4.
