By the Numbers: Future Plans for Natick's 2012 Class
Statistics from Natick High's guidance department show that private four-year colleges have scooped up the greatest number of this year's graduates.
Earlier this week, we provided a list of colleges and universities Natick High 2012 graduates will attend in the fall. This chart, provided by the high school's Guidance Department, gives a more precise breakdown of the 301 graduates' future plans. Nearly 96 percent of the 2012 Red and Blue will go to two or four-year colleges, and 3.65 percent will enter the workforce. One student is going in the Marines.
