2025 Goal All High School GradsFrom 2014
Adult Learners, SomeCollege, No Degree
Achievement Hypotheses If every high school graduate
from 2014 attended and
graduated with a degree, we
would fall short of our goal.
If every adult with some
college, no degree, earned a
credential, we would
overachieve our goal.
In Rutherford County, 34,976 adults (25-64)
reported some college, no degree.
