High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) Postsecondary Education Administrative Records Collection Restricted-use Data File
Add to My BasketDescription
This data file provides new information from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) Postsecondary Education Administrative Records collection (PEAR). HSLS:09 follows a nationally representative sample of students who were ninth-graders in fall 2009 from high school into postsecondary education and the workforce. The PEAR data collection was conducted in 2021, approximately 8 years after high school graduation for most of the cohort. These data provide information on whether fall 2009 ninth-graders enrolled in postsecondary education by June 2021, and allow researchers to examine enrollment characteristics, degree completion, and financial aid awards for the subset of fall 2009 ninth-graders who enrolled in postsecondary education.
Detailed Methodology
HSLS:09 follows a nationally representative sample of individuals who were ninth-graders in fall 2009 from the beginning of high school into higher education and the workforce. HSLS:09 used a two-stage sample design. First, high schools, defined as schools with both a ninth and an eleventh grade in fall 2009, were sampled, and then students were sampled from each school’s ninth grade in the fall term. The PEAR collection matched administrative records with the XX,XXX sample members with evidence of postsecondary enrollment or attendance.
