Student Debt. 2007. <em>Balancing Acts: How High School Counselors View Risks and Opportunities of Student Loans.</em> Arlington, VA: NACAC.<br />
<br />
This report discusses findings from the 2006 NACAC Secondary School Counseling Trends Survey, distributed to 10,000 high school guidance offices across the nation at 1,552 NACAC-member high schools and 8,448 nonmember public high schools. Survey results showed that high school counselors see worries about student debt affecting families&#8218; decisions about college and that counselors themselves are concerned about rising student debt. Additionally, counselors at schools with a majority of low-income students are more likely to say that fear of debt "strongly affects" college choices than counselors at schools with fewer low-income students.
