Fewer grads enrolling in college Statewide, 59% of class of 19 in post-high school education ASHLEY SLOBODA | The Journal Gazette A troubling trend in Indiana has worsened. After years of steady declines, the percentage of college-bound high school graduates plunged to its lowest point in more than a decade. Of the 2019 graduates, 59% enrolled in education after high school, down from 61% the previous year, according to a recent report by the Indiana Commission for Higher Education. The college-going rate has been steadily declining since 2015, when it was 65%, the agency said, “but this is the largest drop year-to-year.” The commission expects the decline will continue in the 2022 Indiana College Readiness Report considering fall 2020 enrollment for two- and four-year public colleges dropped by 13% and 4%, respectively.
