NEW YORK (WCBS 880) -- New York City is seeing the most high school students enroll in college in history.
Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza made the announcement at the High School of Telecommunication Arts and Technology in Brooklyn on Thursday.
This is HUGE: college enrollment for @NYCSchools students has hit a record high!
— Mayor Bill de Blasio (@NYCMayor) November 21, 2019
62% are now going on to college — up from 51% when we took office.
We KNOW that your zip code shouldn’t determine whether or not you get to go to college because our kids prove it every day. https://t.co/zyt9i6AhWg
Nearly 49,000 High School students in the city's 2018 graduating class are going to college, WCBS 880's Kristie Keleshian reported.
"Today we are announcing that more NYC public school kids are going on to higher education than ever before in our history," said de Blasio.
"With our college access for all, we're helping students visit campuses, they're applying for financial aid early and we're helping them track their applications so that when they submit it's complete and it's high quality," Carranza said.
The High School of Telecommunication Arts and Technology saw 82 percent of its 2018 graduating class go to college, Keleshian reported.
De Blasio credits city resources available to students to simplify the enrollment process.
"We're going to help you on to higher education. If that's what you want, if that's what you have in you we're going to help you get there," de Blasio said.
2019 graduate high school stats have not been made available yet, Keleshian reported.
