| Abstract: | The present study is organized around the central hypothesis that the high school context affects students’ postsecondary
outcomes. Drawing on a nationally representative sample of high school seniors from the Educational Longitudinal Survey (ELS:2002),
this study broadens our empirical understanding of how students’ acquisition of human, social, and cultural capital at the
individual and school level affects 2- and 4-year college attendance. Results highlight the normative role of high schools
in promoting college enrollment, particularly the role of socioeconomics, academic preparation, and access to parent, peer,
and college-linking networks. This study advances our understanding of the secondary-postsecondary nexus and has implications
for policies and practices aimed at realizing the current administration’s promise of providing greater access to postsecondary
education for all students. |
