Indicator 14 Outcomes Map

Linked are a series of maps showing the five major outcomes for youth based on the 2023 Indicator 14 Post School Outcomes Survey. The data is based on an unduplicated count of successfully completed interviews, meaning respondents are counted in only one category, and in the highest category listed in the following order: Higher Education, Competitive Employment, Other Postsecondary Education or Training, Other Employment, and Not Meeting Indicator 14 Participation Criteria. Each outcome is aggregated by school district (LEA) and by county. Maps are interactive.
