In 2022, 26.99% of Bexar County public high school students between the ages of 24 and 35 earned a postsecondary credential from a Texas institution of higher education, which includes public and private, two-year and four-year colleges.

In 2015, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board launched 60X30TX with the goal of 60% of the population, ages 25-34, achieving post-secondary-credentials (certificates or degrees) by the year 2030. This indicator measures the highest post-secondary degree or certificate earned by Bexar County students and shows small increases year over year. Because this information does not include data from colleges outside of Texas, the findings do not include Bexar County students who earned all their postsecondary credentials outside of Texas. This additional data could improve our results by approximately 2 or 3 percentage points.

In December 2021, the Urban Education Institute at the University of Texas at San Antonio released a report that showed higher levels of educational attainment were associated with greater wages no matter gender, age, or race/ethnicity. However, when holding constant age, race and ethnicity, level of education, and college major, females earned approximately 13% less than males on average. Additionally, after controlling for educational attainment and college major, people who identified as white earned more than all other racial groups.
