Abstract	This report provides key research findings from a recent analysis of 51,831 students who first entered grade 8 in the B.C. K-12 education system in academic year 2004/2005. These students who entered B.C. public and independent schools were tracked over a period of ten years, to the end of the Fall 2014 term. The numerous and diverse education pathways of these students were followed from grade 8 entry, to grade 12 graduation or non-graduation, to post-secondary entry, and finally to credential completion. This study addresses a number of research questions about the different routes students may take beyond initial entry to grade 8. Some students ultimately achieved their grade 12 graduation and subsequently enrolled in post-secondary education where they earned a credential. Other students did not achieve their grade 12 graduation, but did successfully enroll in B.C. public post-secondary institutions where many also earned a post-secondary credential. Numerous other education routes were possible for these students. This report describes their diverse range of education achievements along a multitude of pathways over varying lengths of time, with specific comparisons between grade 12 graduates and non-graduates, as well as Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students.
