Postsecondary education confers many benefits to individuals. Relative to those without any postsecondary education, they earn more income, are less likely to experience depression and have higher self-esteem, and live longer. Access to these benefits, however, varies considerably across gender, race and ethnicity, and family income despite the concerted efforts of educators and policymakers to get more people enrolled in postsecondary institutions. The COVID-19 pandemic appeared to have set back these efforts. Postsecondary enrollments declined in the initial years of the pandemic raising concerns that the pandemic lessened the value that college-aged persons placed on postsecondary education and that the declines in postsecondary transitions were larger for some groups than others. We generated evidence speaking toward these concerns by focusing on one slice of the college-age population--Virginia high school completers between 2010 and 2022. We explore whether and how those changes differed across groups--changes in both the composition of high school completers and their likelihood of enrolling within 16 months of leaving high school. Our analysis found that the pandemic's negative impact was widespread. Furthermore, our findings suggested two distinct negative impacts for many groups--one for the 2020 and 2021 cohorts and an even larger negative impact with the 2022 cohort. These negative trends call out for programs and policies to help reverse these trends, programs like the Get A Skill, Get A Job, Get Ahead (G3) program administered by the Virginia Community College System that provides financial support for postsecondary education to individuals from low-income households. More data are needed--data on additional cohorts and data tracking completers over a longer period--to determine if these changes mark a paradigm shift away from postsecondary education or if postsecondary transitions will return to prepandemic levels.
