It feels like it was just yesterday when we were celebrating our 2,500 graduating seniors across 5 regions at our annual College Signing Day events. Joined by their family and friends, each senior had their moment, sharing loud and proud what college they would be attending. 

From first-generation college students to scholars pursuing competitive programs across the country, the Class of 2025 represented the very best of IDEA’s mission: preparing students to and through college.

Those incredible seniors, our newest IDEA Alumni, have made good on their promise. After validating the data, we can proudly say: 

We have achieved a 99.6% college matriculation rate for the Class of 2025, with 2,786 out of 2,787 seniors matriculating to college! 

This outstanding achievement is a culmination of driven efforts from our scholars, college counselors, Directors of College Counseling, and our National College team members. 

We are also deeply grateful to the teachers, campus leaders, and staff members across the IDEA network who have invested in these scholars year after year. Their commitment to academic excellence and student success helps create a strong foundation that makes achievements like this possible. 

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2025 for all your hard work and perseverance. Your child’s educational journey is important. That is why here at IDEA, our partnerships with families are crucial to ensure all our scholars are supported every step of the way.
