What Do Mount Pleasant and Sturtevant Graduates Do After High School?

With school over for the year, Patch was curious… Exactly what do Mount Pleasant graduates do after graduation? The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has an incredible amount of searchable data on its website.

So we took a look at the data available about Racine Unified, and here’s what we found:

The percent of students heading to college has been on the rise recently. In 2010, the most recent year for which data was available, 58 percent of students reported they were going to a four-year college. That number has gone up every year since 2005, when 43 percent of graduates reported they were college bound.

The percent of students heading to vocational and technical colleges has remained relatively stable, bouncing from a low of 10 percent in 2004 to a high of 15 percent in 2003 and 2009.
