Longitudinal Data

Why longitudinal data? Partnerships track trends for groups of students over time and trace individual students' unique long-term pathways through school to careers. Partners also use longitudinal data for groups of students and with individual students and their families to map their multiple pathways through school to college and career goals. These activities help improve services for students on different pathways.
