Postsecondary Feedback Systems

Postsecondary feedback systems detailed in this database refer to reports sent to high schools that demonstrate the performance of the high school's recent graduates in postsecondary education. In most cases, the report is prepared by a higher education governing body as a result of a statutory provision; but a number of the reports are prepared on the initiative of the governing body itself. A handful of states include this feedback data on their district and school accountability report cards, and others mandate that the data be used for school improvement purposes. With some exception, the information included in the reports are for the students' freshman year performance.

The postsecondary feedback systems database is designed to allow state policymakers to consider the rationale behind various systems initiatives, determine the policies in place in their state and elsewhere, and consider policy options used in other states that may benefit students and schools in their own state.

This database includes information on:

1. States that have a system to provide postsecondary feedback to high schools/districts
Why does it matter?

High schools need to be able to gauge how well they have prepared their students.

State leaders need a better picture of how high schools and postsecondary systems are aligned.

Twenty-three states have postsecondary feedback systems. Nineteen of those states mandate the feedback report through legislation; in the other four states, the report is produced on the initiative of the higher education board. Two states, Montana and Tennessee, provide postsecondary information to high schools but are technically considered not to have a "statewide" system.

2. Types of postsecondary institutions that must report data
Why does it matter? It is important that high schools have all of the available data to help them improve. If only some of the public postsecondary institutions report, high schools will only be able to see a part of the picture.

Feedback report data is constrained by the types of institutions that report. Unless otherwise specified in statute, the higher education boards can only compel the institutions under their jurisdiction to report data. Currently, only three feedback reports contain data from private and independent institutions. Delaware's report is based on surveys sent to students, and does not include data from the institutions themselves.

3. Recipients of reports
Why does it matter? Feedback reports ought to be sent to recipients who have the capability of utilizing the data to improve student success in postsecondary education.

Twenty-two states send their reports directly to the high school and/or district. Three states send the reports to the department of education or other state-level entity to be utilized and distributed at their discretion.

4. Areas of information included in the report
Why does it matter? Selecting the right indicators of performance is critical for an accurate and truthful assessment.

For this database, the areas of information in the feedback reports are broken into three categories: information about the high school, postsecondary enrollment and postsecondary performance. The most common performance measure contained in the feedback reports is remediation rates. Other areas of information included in the reports are persistence rates and first year grade point averages. Seventeen states include remediation rates in their reports, while seven include persistence rates. Delaware and South Carolina also include employment information for those graduates who did not continue with postsecondary education.

5. Feedback data included in school and/or district report cards to the public
Why does it matter? Communities have the right to know how well schools are preparing students for postsecondary education.

Currently, four states include feedback data on their accountability report cards. One state, Ohio, will include the data beginning in 2012.

6. Schools and districts required to use the data for school improvement purposes
Why does it matter? Requiring schools and districts to use the data creates the opportunity to develop strategies aimed at improving the success of their graduates in postsecondary education.

Four states currently mandate that the reports are to be used for improvement purposes. For example, in Florida, the state board of education must ensure that each district and high school develop strategies to improve student readiness for postsecondary education.

Methodology: This information was collected from state statutes, rules and regulations, and state education agencies, and will be updated as new policies and programs are enacted.
