Abstract: The Education Longitudinal 

Study of 2002 is a nationally 

representative study of two high school 

grade cohorts (spring 2002 tenth-graders 

and spring 2004 twelfth-graders) 

comprising over 16,000 sample 

members. The study focuses on 

achievement growth in mathematics in 

the high school years and its correlates, 

the family and school social context of 

secondary education, transitions from 

high school to postsecondary education 

and/or the labor market, and 

experiences during the postsecondary 

years. Major topics covered for the 

postsecondary years include 

postsecondary education access, choice, 

and persistence; baccalaureate and subbaccalaureate attainment; the work 

experiences of the non-college-bound; 

and other markers of adult status such 

as family formation, civic participation 

and other young adult life course 

developments. Data collections took 

place in 2002, 2004, 2006 (two years out 

of high school), and now will take place 

in 2012, when most sample members 

are around 26 years of age. This 

submission requests OMB’s approval for 

the third follow-up 2011 field test and 

a 60-day Federal Register waiver for the 

2012 full scale clearance.
