What is the average education level in the United States today? How many years?

Question

Statistics are compiled in reference to the population over age 25. What is the most recent data? Where is this authoritative information?

Answer 1

I was able to research statistics through a book I had. it said that the highest levels of education in America Are:

Not A High School Grad: 17%
High School Grad: 33%
Some College: 25%
College Graduate: 25%

I'm not sure how you want this interpreted, so I am presenting you the raw facts. The data was compiled in late 2005, and can be found using this ISBN #:

0-321-29236-7

The book used is actually from a textbook I used. Its title was, "Government in America: People, politics, and policy". It was written by George C Edwards III. The website suggested for use with the book is:

I know its not a lot, but I hope it helps with your book. Keep up the good work! And please vote for the best answer!
