This report presents the dropout rate for students in grades 9 through 12 in the School District of the City of Saginaw (Michigan) for the 1991-1992 academic year. Student enrollment and dropout data are presented for each junior high and high school in the district, showing that 128 (4.4%) of the 2,906 secondary school students in grades 9-12 dropped out prior to graduation. Dropout data are presented and discussed by gender, by grade, by age, by racial/ethnic background, and by reason for dropping out. A summary section notes that: (1) the dropout rate of 4.4% represents a decrease in the dropout rate from the 1990-1991 rate of 6.6%; (2) approximately 59% of dropouts were males; (3) 48.4% of dropouts were high school seniors, while only 5.5% were ninth graders; (4) 18-year-olds comprised the largest group of dropouts by age; (5) black students comprised the largest enrollment group and the largest group dropping out (71.1%); (6) the percent of Hispanic dropouts was slightly greater than their percentage of district enrollment; and (7) the most frequently cited reason for dropping out was lack of interest. Recommendations, based on these findings, are presented. Relevant tables and data forms are appended. (NB)
