Find your high school’s 2011 graduates

Where do graduates of Colorado high schools go after receiving their diplomas? For the Class of 2011, 45 percent enrolled in a Colorado public college or university or in one of three private schools.

The other 55 percent may be attending an out-of-state school, another in-state private institution or they may not be in college at all.

A state report shows most 2011 graduates attending in-state programs, or 67 percent, enrolled in four-year schools. Most were female, 53 percent, and most were white, 64 percent.

Colorado State University was the most popular four-year program with in-state graduates while Front Range Community College was the top two-year school.
