US is actually in range of 60%. Apparently 62% of high school graduates enrolled last year. Although that’s graduates and not all people graduate, but also some people do go back later in life too.
I think the real issue is that college doesn’t look the same to everyone. You may commute, do part time, different majors. However, middle/high school are a bit more uniform so the tropes/trends will resonate with most people.
