The Education Trust has made publicly available a database of graduation and retention rates of more than 1,400 colleges and universities. The database was compiled to allow colleges to compare themselves with similar institutions and to help poorer-performing schools to learn what measures can be taken to increase retention and graduation rates among their students. High school students and counselors can also access the data to determine which schools have the highest success rates. The database can be accessed on the Education Trust Web site (http://www2.edtrust.org/edtrust/collegeresults).
