This publication provides a compilation of statistical information covering Pennsylvania high school graduates in public, private and nonpublic schools for the 2003-04 school year. Information is provided on race/ethnicity, gender and intended post-high school activity of graduates, including those who are college-bound. Information is also provided on special populations of the public school graduates: economically disadvantaged, migrant, English language learner and special education. The source of this data is an annual survey of all Pennsylvania public, private and nonpublic schools having enrollment in grade 12 or secondary ungraded. In the public sector, 598 high schools, 15 comprehensive area vocational-technical schools, 35 charter schools, four consortium-operated alternative high schools and the Scotland School for Veterans Children were surveyed. These public schools had 123,473 graduates. In the private and nonpublic sector, there were 391 high schools with 17,580 graduates. The total number of public, private and nonpublic graduates was 141,053. For the public schools, the data collection used an individual student report via a web-based system, the Electronic Dropout/Graduate Report (EDGR). For the private and nonpublic schools, the data collection continued to be an aggregate report using a paper form. Appended are: (1) Special Populations of Public High School Graduates, 2003-04; (2) Public High School Graduates by Race, Gender and Post-High School Activity, 2003-04; (3) Private and Nonpublic High School Graduates by Race, Gender and Post-High School Activity, 2003-04; (4) Public High School Graduates by Post-High School Activity and County, 2003-04; (5) Private and Nonpublic High School Graduates by Post-High School Activity and County, 2003-04; (6) Glossary; and (7) Sources. (Contains 5 tables and 3 figures.)
