More Arizona high school students are attending one of the state’s three public universities immediately after graduation. That’s according to a new report released by the Arizona Board of Regents. The annual Arizona High School Report card showed that the state university system saw a more than 9-percent increase in high school students who enrolled for the fall semester immediately following their senior year. The state is also graduating more students, with a 3.3-percent increase in bachelor’s degrees earned in the 2013-14 school year.
