Overview
The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides reports for high school districts to accurately analyze the postsecondary success of their high school graduates and make programmatic changes based upon what they learn through their Student Tracker System. The Clearinghouse does not survey students but obtains student data directly from college and university officers responsible for keeping track of enrollments and degrees.
