Make the Most of the Critical “Final Four” Secondary School Years
Just like the thrilling “Final Four” in basketball, the final four years of a student’s secondary school journey are pivotal. These years are instrumental in shaping their trajectory and positioning them for success in their postsecondary endeavors. To help academic leaders navigate this crucial period, the National Student Clearinghouse offers powerful resources that school leaders can leverage to help ensure they set up students for a ‘slam dunk’ future.
In the spirit of the “March Madness” tournament, here are some key Clearinghouse services for secondary school leaders.

The service enables academic leaders and counselors to learn which colleges their students attend and monitor their progress in higher education. These insights enable administrators to assess the effectiveness of school programs and pinpoint areas where they can enhance college and career readiness support. With reports offering aggregate and detailed data, StudentTracker enables academic leaders to make informed decisions.

Understanding broader trends is crucial for informed decision-making. The National Student Clearinghouse Research Center’s High School Benchmarks report provides a comprehensive look at high school graduates’ postsecondary enrollment, persistence, and completion across a variety of high school characteristics. The report can help secondary education practitioners and policymakers monitor and evaluate their progress in guiding students through the transition from high school to college.

Championship-Caliber Insights: Custom Research
Through its Custom Research services, the Clearinghouse can conduct in-depth, tailored studies to address specific research questions. High schools and districts can work with our Custom Research team to explore specific trends within their student population. For example, academic leaders can use the Clearinghouse’s custom research to rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of initiatives like career and technical education programs, gaining invaluable insights to refine student support services.
By leveraging these powerful tools, secondary school leaders can ensure their students are well-positioned for success long after the final bell rings. Like a winning basketball team relies on data and strategy, these resources provide the data-driven insights needed to champion student success!
