Most Ridgewood High School seniors will be heading to four-year colleges and universities across the country.
According to a survey completed annually by graduating seniors, the vast majority of the class of 2011 will attend college next year.
Jeff Nyhuis, assistant principal and director of guidance, said the numbers fell in line with previous years, with about 96 percent of seniors planning to attend two- or four-year colleges in the fall.
About 91 percent of the senior class will attend a four-year college, up slightly from last year’s percentage of 88.8. And 4.6 percent will attend a two-year college, on par with last year’s 4.5 percent.
