The PRR connects data from the Iowa Department of Education, Iowa Board of Regents, Iowa Workforce Development and the National Student Clearinghouse. Enrollment includes registered apprenticeships, for-credit or noncredit coursetaking at an Iowa community college, and for-credit coursetaking at any other public or private 2-or 4-year postsecondary institutions. Awards indicate completion of a for-credit program of study or registered apprenticeship.  \nKEY FINDINGS  \n• 57.5% of class of 2025 Iowa public highschool graduates enrolled in postsecondary education or training in the fall immediately following highschool graduation. This is a decrease of 0.4 percentage points from the class of 2024’s enrollment rate of 57.9% .  \n• 47.7% of class of 2019 Iowa public highschool graduates earned a postsecondary degree or award within six years of high school graduation.  \nPOSTSECONDARY ENROLLMENT  \nOver 36,600 students graduated from Iowa public high schools as part of the class of  \n2025. Of those, 57.5% enrolled in postsecondary education or training in the fall immediately following high school graduation. This is a decrease of 0.4 percentage points from the class of 2024’s enrollment rate of 57.9% .  \nGaps exist in enrollment rates for students from specific student  \ngroups and students who face economic challenges. However, both students with disabilities (IEP)(0 .8 percentage point increase) and Black or African American students (0 .1 percentage point increase) had increases in postsecondary or training enrollment rates between the class of 2021 and the class of  \n2025.

The figure to the right shows 47.7% of class of 2019 Iowa public high school graduates earned an award within six years of high school graduation. For each year after high school graduation, every student is grouped into one of the categories defined below:  \n• Award: Students who received a degree, certificate, diploma or completed a registered apprenticeship in the given or a previous year  \n• Enrolled: Students who enrolled in the given year and have received no award  \n• No Longer Enrolled, No Award: Students who enrolled in a previous year, but not in the given year and have received no degree/award  \n• No Enrollment Found: Students who did not enroll in postsecondary education or training or receive any postsecondary award in the given year or previous years  \nStatus by Year After High School Graduation, Class of 2019  \nAward  Enrolled  No Longer Enrolled, No Awa","cbCaiio2HfytM29d","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiio2HfytM29d","pdf",102971,"English","# Key Findings\n## Postsecondary Enrollment\n## Postsecondary Retention and Awards\n## PREP Trendlines\n## Registered Apprenticeship","[{\"question\":\"What does the Postsecondary Readiness Reports Summary 2026 measure?\",\"answer\":\"It measures postsecondary enrollment patterns plus retention and award rates for Iowa public high school graduates.
