National Student Clearinghouse

Overview

Overview

The National Student Clearinghouse provides StudentTracker services that help high schools and districts examine graduates’ subsequent college enrollment and completion. Postsecondary institutions supply enrollment and degree information, which districts use to study cohort outcomes and inform program review.

The handoff connects a district’s graduate cohort with postsecondary enrollment and completion information. Analysts preserve cohort definitions and reporting coverage when interpreting outcomes for school improvement. The graduate cohort is the reference population for analysis. District teams consider reporting coverage and timing when connecting postsecondary information with the local high-school record.
