The percentage of high school graduates who enroll in college has slightly declined, according to a report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Of the nearly 3 million youth age 16 to 24 who graduated from high school between January and October 2013, about 2 million, or 65.9 percent, enrolled in college that fall, the report says. By comparison, the October 2012 enrollment rate was 66.2 percent.
