    Minnesota reports how many of each school's graduates enroll in college, in state and out of state, and its top 25 colleges, through SLEDS, the state's student data system. It does not offer these numbers as a download yet, so we link to the official report. Statewide, 42% in Minnesota and 19% outside Minnesota, Class of 2024 (SLEDS statewide).
