Status of Former High School Students: Procedure for Local Assessment. Summary Report for a Statewide Sample Class of 1974.
Copa, George; And Others
During 1975, seventy-seven secondary schools participated in this project to assess the post-high school educational and employment status of about one-third of the high school class of 1974 in Minnesota. The assessment procedure was developed and tested by the Minnesota Research Coordinating Unit for Vocational Education (RCU) in order to identify the relationships between high school programs and students' post high school activities. Initiated, directed, and largely conducted by the secondary schools, 17,642 former students from the Class of 1974 were followed-up. The overall rate of response by former students to the assessment was 82%, with 60% of the former students employed and 51% enrolled in postsecondary education. This document also includes a set of summary tables (for all secondary schools participating in the project during 1975) describing the educational and employment activities of former students and a discussion of project results and recommendations for future assessment efforts.
