One Year Out Report

On behalf of the College Board, Hart Research Associates undertook a comprehensive survey to explore how young Americans assess their high school experience and its role in preparing them for their next step in life, including work, post-secondary education, or some combination of experiences. The survey involved a nationally representative sample of 1,507 respondents, all of whom graduated from high school in 2010. To reach out broadly to this highly mobile population, Hart Research employed multiple methodologies, including telephone interviewing on both landline and cell phones as well as online interviewing. All respondents completed the survey (either by telephone interview or online) from July 29, 2011, to August 3, 2011. A total of 775 respondents were interviewed by telephone, and 732 completed interviews online.
