This set of Issue Tables draws on data from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002) to highlight the postsecondary expectations and plans of the senior class of 2003−04. These tables examine the highest level of education that students expected to attain and that parents expected their children to attain; look at students' postsecondary plans after high school; explore various reasons that some students do not plan to enroll in college; reveal how frequently students discussed going to college with their parents; and show the number of their friends who plan to attend a 2- or 4-year college after high school. Estimates in all tables are presented for all students and by a wide range of student, family, and high school characteristics.
