High School and Beyond Data — HSB • candisc

The High School and Beyond Project was a longitudinal study of students in the U.S. carried out in 1980 by the National Center for Education Statistics. Data were collected from 58,270 high school students (28,240 seniors and 30,030 sophomores) and 1,015 secondary schools. The HSB data frame is sample of 600 observations, of unknown characteristics, originally taken from Tatsuoka (1988).
