Abstract	The report examines progress made over the last 20 years in expanding the opportunities for educational attainment of young adults from different family income backgrounds. Based on data from published reports of the Census Bureau, the study examined high school graduation, college matriculation, and baccalaureate degree attainment rates for 18- to 24-year-olds from the four quartiles of the family income distribution over the last two decades. The results are detailed for males, females, Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and by public/private collegiate enrollment, and full-time/part-time status. The study reports very large differences in educational progress between students from low and high family income backgrounds, and these disparities are viewed as being persistent, pervasive, and growing. Data presented in numerous figures and tables provide information in many areas including: (1) marriage and high school graduation; (2) college participation of unmarried high school graduates; (3) baccalaureate degree attainment; (4) college participation behaviors; (5) enrollment by status; and (6) college participation rates by gender, race, and ethnicity. Other reports of the American College Testing reports are also listed. (GLR)
