Gao, Niu
Public Policy Institute of California
This is the technical appendix for the report, "Does Raising High School Graduation Requirements Improve Student Outcomes?" While high school graduation rates in California have increased in the past decade, nearly 40 percent of California high school graduates do not enroll in college; the disruptive impact of the pandemic has heightened this concern. In the report, the authors review district graduation policies for the 2018-19 school year and examine the relationship between math and science requirements and student outcomes. This appendix includes additional tables and figures relating to the full report. [This report was written with research support from Courtney Lee and Andrew Lee. For the full report, see ED611478.]
