Dear Friends:
I am pleased to issue the annual publication, Plans of High School Graduates: Class of 2001. This report provides information on the post-graduation plans of Massachusetts public high school students who graduated in 2001. The data in this document, along with several other educational indicators that we report, help to inform decision-making at both local and state levels.
For the Class of 2001, over 76 percent of Massachusetts high school graduates plan to continue their education at a two- or four-year college. This figure has shown steady growth from 53 percent recorded over twenty years ago. Correspondingly, 14 percent of graduates plan to work, approximately half of the percentage planning to work in 1980.
The Education Reform Act of 1993, with its high standards for students and teachers, will strengthen the efforts of Massachusetts schools and districts in preparing students to successfully pursue their post graduation plans.
If you have any questions or suggestions regarding this report, please contact:
Massachusetts Department of Education Information Services and Technology 350 Main Street Malden, MA 02148 (781) 338-3282
Sincerely,
David P. Driscoll Commissioner of Education Massachusetts Department of Education Plans of High School Graduates: Class of 2001
Introduction
The Massachusetts Department of Education collects data annually from public high schools regarding the plans of their graduates. This report summarizes the data at the state level for the Class of 2001 and includes analyses by racial/ethnic groups and gender. Comparison data from past years are also provided, as well as district and individual school data. It is important to note that the data represent the intentions of high school graduates and may not reflect what students actually do after graduating from high school.
Results
• The Class of 2001 In 2001, a total of 54,391 students graduated from Massachusetts public high schools. Of these graduates, over 77 percent planned on attending college or some other post-secondary institution (e.g. trade schools), 14 percent planned on working, and two percent intended to enter the military. Three percent of the graduates reported having plans other than the ones listed above, and data was not available for the remaining three percent of graduates (Figure 1 below and Table 1). Of the graduates planning to attend college, more than twice as many planned to attend a four-year college than planned to attend a two-year college (54 versus 22 percent of all graduates).
