Abstract	Many high school seniors have plans to attend college after they graduate, but frequently, those plans outstrip reality. Some find out that they do not have the academic foundation to be candidates for college. Others are held back by financial-aid applications, entrance essays, or an over-reliance on a single college choice that may fall through. The Chicago school district has taken a comprehensive approach to try to remove as many roadblocks as possible from the paths of high school students, through its 5-year-old department of postsecondary education and student development. Since the creation of the department, the Chicago system has seen its college-attendance rate edge up from 43.5 percent for the class of 2004 to 50 percent for the class of 2007.
