This report discusses findings from the senior surveys conducted in the spring of 2012. Some notable student responses for the class of 2012 include when students first started thinking about college, how often during each week they studied for high school subjects, how well they felt their high school coursework prepared them for college coursework, and the types of colleges they applied to. This report also finds differences between 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 seniors’ responses on topics such as the amount of time spent working in paid employment outside of high school, their plans for postsecondary education, and their perceptions about the ease of applying for financial aid.

This report presents a summary of findings from the evaluation of college access and persistence services delivered by three ACAN member organizations. The findings in the report show that all three ACAN member programs appear to have a significant, positive impact on participants’ college access. Because this program was started in 2008, data on college persistence will be stronger as more students from the programs reach the end of their college careers. Already, two of the three programs have shown significant impacts on students’ college persistence.
