Each year, Beckman High School seniors participate in a survey that gathers self-reported data on their post-graduation plans, including college enrollment, vocational training, employment, or military service. The survey aims to track students' intended matriculation pathways and is used to assess trends in higher education attendance and career choices. Results help schools and districts understand the aspirations of their students, provide insights into college preparedness, and guide future academic and career counseling efforts. Data is collected voluntarily, ensuring a snapshot of senior class outcomes annually. Below is a snapshot of data related to local trends.
