• College enrollment among graduates increased from 53 percent to 54 percent.
• The percentage of students who enrolled in a University of Hawaii campus in college-level math (24 percent) and college-level English (42 percent) both increased by four percentage points over the class of 2011.
• The percentage of students requiring remedial classes dropped to 31 percent in English and remained at 36 percent for math.
