9 Enrollment of Recent High School Graduates Average Estimated Percent of Recent High School Graduates in College • In 2004-05, 17,819 students United States 56 graduated from a public/private high SREB states 52 school in West Virginia. Alabama 56 • If participation rates were to Arkansas 55 increase to the average of the best Delaware 58 Florida 56 performing SREB states, WV would Georgia 57 expect to see an increase of 1,960 first Kentucky 61 time freshmen entering higher Louisiana 58 education. Maryland 56 • Contextually, this is approximate to Mississippi 64 the entering in-state freshmen class at North Carolina 65 West Virginia University (2,093 in Fall Oklahoma 51 2005).
