One important case study that I' d like to explore researches graduation rates, employment outcomes, student loan debts, and default rates for students at for-profit schools in comparison to those at nonprofit and public schools. For me, this was a great starting point. It was more like a large overview of the student population, instead of a more direct look at the students within inner city communities. The study, conducted by the Congress' Government Accountability Office in 2011, also explores pass rates on licensing exams for selected occupations among graduates of for-profit, nonprofit, and public schools. The study showed that students enrolled in nonprofit and public institutions were usually more successful that those enrolled in proprietary education institutions.
