This report tracks the school-completion progress of New York City students who entered ninth grade in fall 1990 and were scheduled to graduate on time in June 1994. The report indicates the percentages of students (including those in special education) who graduated, dropped out, and remained in school for summer school or a fifth year in fall 1994. After correction for transfers in and out of the system, the class of 1994 contained 63,130 students. The dropout rate (without transfers) was 18.7 percent, and the total graduation rate (through June) was 44.3 percent, with 37 percent still enrolled at the end of the 1993-94 school year. A little over 14 percent were of limited English proficiency. Almost one-third of the class was Hispanic American, and just over 10 percent was Asian/Pacific Islanders. Blacks made up just under 40 percent of students, and less than 20 percent were white. Substantially higher percentages of Asian/Pacific Islander and White students graduated within 4 years than did Black or Hispanic students. While Blacks dropped out at a rate comparable to the class as a whole, Hispanics dropped out at a higher rate. Overall, school completion findings show little change from those for the class of 1993. Seven figures and six tables present school completion figures. An appendix contains school-level analyses in table form. (SLD)
