-
In order to determine the extent to which New York City students are dropping out of high school, the progress of the over 70,000 members of the class of 1986 was followed from September 1982, through June 1986. By the date of their anticipated graduation, the class of 1986 was characterized by the following: (1) 22 percent had dropped out; (2) 12 percent had moved out of the city and/or had enrolled in other educational institutions; (3) 41 percent had completed their education successfully, 36 percent by earning a high school diploma and 5 percent by earning a General Equivalency Diploma (GED); (4) 21 percent remained enrolled in the school system; (5) 4 percent were of "unknown status" (they were not attending school, but either their discharge from school was not recorded due to a data-entry error, or they had not been officially discharged); (6) both the dropout rate and the graduation rate will rise as students from the "still enrolled" category complete their education; (7) a third of the students were already overage when they entered grade 9, and they were the students most likely to drop out; (8) females had significantly higher graduation rates and lower dropout rates than males; (9) almost three-quarters of dropouts never proceeded beyond grade 10; (10) over a third of dropouts left school at age 19 or older, suggesting that many persist in school beyond the age of 18 despite the fact that they fail to progress from grade to grade. Data are presented on 29 tables and figures. (BJV)
