Abstract	This report analyzes new, nationally representative data from the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09). Part I of this report examines what high schools are doing to help students transition to postsecondary education. Broadly, it examines college-level course offerings; counselors' time, attitudes and actions; and students' interactions with counselors. Each outcome was analyzed by the following high school characteristics: high school type (public or private), four-year college-going rate, size, locale, Hispanic students' representation, black students' representation, and the percentage of students at public high schools receiving free or reduced-price lunch (as a proxy for low-income students' representation). Part II of this report helps identify what schools can do to get students on a path that should lead to their successful transition to college. To that end, this section examines how counseling characteristics are related to ninth-graders' perceptions about college affordability, intention to enroll in a bachelor's degree program within a year of completing high school, and plans to take the SAT or ACT. In this section, descriptive statistics are presented first, followed by a discussion of regression results that control for high school, student and parent characteristics. The role of counseling characteristics on first-generation college students' attitudes and plans receives special attention. (ERIC).
