NOTE: Counselor caseload refers to the First Follow-up high school counselor report of the average caseload for a counselor at their school, entered as the number of students per counselor. Caseload is a continuous variable based on counselor report of the typical number of students per counselor at the school. Each caseload category accounts for roughly one-third of the sample in the unweighted data. Low caseload ranges from 40 to 299 students, medium caseload ranges from 300 to 399 students, and high caseload refers to schools with counselors responsible for 400 or more students. Cases where the respondent did not know whether they met with a counselor are excluded from the analyses. These represent approximately 8 percent of cases. GED refers to General Educational Development. The person weight used is W3W1W2STU.
