The Educational Path of Our Nation

Educational Path infographic

Resource Description

Education plays a fundamental role in American society. Education statistics are vital to communities in determining funding allocations and guiding program planning. This infographic looks at school enrollment, costs, and educational outcomes. How does school enrollment today compare with 1970, when the baby-boom generation was in its prime years of school attendance (age 6 to 24) and made up 90 percent of all students enrolled in schools? The American Community Survey and other Census Bureau surveys provide us with information to answer these and other valuable questions.
