From 2019 to 2020, the percent of Worcester’s Burncoat High School seniors applying to college fell from 93% to 50% as the coronavirus pandemic altered nearly every corner of education. A year later, that figure has continued to fall to 40%, said Sharon McLaughlin, an education advisor at Massachusetts Education & Career Opportunities, Inc., who added she hopes to see some increase before the end of the year.
