! Interpret data with caution. Estimate is unstable because the standard error represents more than 30 percent of the estimate.
‡ Reporting standards are not met.
NOTE: Remedial courses taken during high school were not included, only those after high school graduation.
NOTE: PETS transcript for first attendance after high schoolwas required for this analysis sample of after graduation fall postsecondary attendance. Those that had a transfer transcript indicating a positive event of remedial coursetaking were an exception to this rule.
NOTE: Because estimates were computed based on high school type, only those students that attended the same school type in last year and in freshman year were included.
NOTE: W5PSTRANS weight was used.
