This First Look introduces new data from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009, collected in 2013 when most sample members were recent high school graduates, and in 2014 from the high school transcripts of students who were freshmen in 2009. The analyses examine students' high school completion status; plans for postsecondary enrollment and financing of postsecondary education; and high school coursetaking. Two appendices provide: (1) Technical Notes and Methodology; and (2) Standard Error Tables.
