The cross section for quasielastic $^{12}\mathrm{C}$(e,e'p) scattering has been measured at momentum transfer ${\mathit{Q}}^{2}$=1, 3, 5, and 6.8 (GeV/c${)}^{2}$. The results are consistent with scattering from a single nucleon as the dominant process. The nuclear transparency is obtained and compared with theoretical calculations that incorporate color transparency effects. No significant rise of the transparency with ${\mathit{Q}}^{2}$ is observed.
