Abstract: America is wasting much of its human capital. That's because many high-achieving, low-income students (HALO students) fall off the education track and never reach the gates of our top colleges and universities. Regrettably, these capable young people won't reap the benefits of a four-year degree, which remains a solid engine for upward mobility and career success. Their families, communities, and states won't benefit from maximizing their capabilities. This represents a tragic loss of potential, while also leaving the best colleges and--later--the most promising occupations bereft of socioeconomic diversity and looking less like the nation writ large. The present study builds on those efforts to strengthen advanced education in U.S. schools, both generally and the Buckeye State particularly. The author focusses on the educational experiences and outcomes of HALO students in Ohio. His analysis addresses three main questions: (1) What does the K-12 education experience look like for Ohio's HALO students?; (2) How many of them attend four-year colleges, including more selective "top colleges"?; and (3) What K-12 education factors best predict their college attendance? To examine these questions, the author used anonymous student-level records to study the trajectories of HALO students from elementary school into college (in and out of state).
