Steps to creating the school-level file: Begin with the school-level directory from the school year prior (SY 2016-17). Only include operational schools that have a 12th grade. Identify whether the students in the schools from step 1 have since enrolled in an IHE within 16 months of graduating. Compare the schools to report on with the current year directory (SY 2017-18). If the school in which the students graduated from is still open, report the students under the school. If the school in which the students graduated is reported as closed, determine if there is another school to which the students can be attributed (i.e., in the case of a school that was reported closed because it merged with another school). If yes, report the students under the school. If no, report the students at the LEA and SEA levels only. Revised! What students should be reported in this file? In accordance with Title I, Part A of the ESEA, as amended by the ESSA, States are required to report data where available for public, in-state programs of postsecondary education, and if available and to the extent practicable for out-of-state or private programs of postsecondary education. If data are available, a state should include all students included in the cohort of students graduating from high school in SY 2016-17. Report on whether these students enrolled or did not enroll in an IHE in the first academic year that begins after the graduation. In addition, the state should students’ report on the students for which they had no information on enrollment status. Revised! Do students who enrolled in IHEs outside of the State need to be included? If data are available and to the extent practicable, students enrolled in any public or private IHE outside of the state where they graduated should be included in this count. Revised! Do students who enrolled in private IHEs within the state need to be included? If data are available and to the extent practicable, students enrolled in a private IHE within the state should be included in this count. Revised! What are the permitted values for postsecondary enrollment action? The permitted values are: NO - No information on postsecondary actions ENROLL - Enrolled in an IHE NOENROLL - Did not enroll in an IHE When should states count students with the permitted value and when “NO” should they count students with the permitted value “NOENROLL”?
