DESCRIPTORS Adolescents; College Preparation; Followup Studies; *High School Graduates; High Schools; Higher Education; *Outcomes of Education; Questionnaires; *School Effectiveness; *Telephone Surveys; Vocational Interests; Young Adults IDENTIFIERS *Saginaw City School System MI ABSTRACT In June 2000, 492 students received diplomas from two high schools in Saginaw, Michigan. To determine these graduates' activities nine months after graduation, 376 of them were telephoned and asked about post-secondary education, employment status, and perception/evaluation of their high school education. The results of that survey are reported here. Survey findings will provide school board members, administrators, teachers, and counselors with data to assist them in instructional and curricular planning. Results indicate that 70.9% of the graduates were in college, school, training, or apprentice programs. For those attending school, the five top study areas were business, education and social services, medicine and health services, general courses/undecided, and engineering and architecture. Over half (52.9%) of the graduates attending school felt that they used their high school education a lot in their major area of study. Regarding employment, 70.3% of those surveyed were working for pay and 4.8% were full-time homemakers. The two most frequently mentioned "suggested improvements" to the high school program were: "more challenging courses such as problem-solving exercises, more basic college level classes" and "better teachers that check student work." Four appendixes present survey instruments and data. (GCP) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

City of Saginaw has had a history of doing a follow-up study of its graduates. The Evaluation and Quality Measurement Department of the School District of the City of Saginaw, has been assigned the main responsibility of conducting the study and producing a report. The requirement to follow the graduates past the walls of the public school setting has been going on for the past ten years. The five prior years and the current year are no exceptions in trying totrack the careers of the graduates. This six-year period, as illustrated in the graph below, has shown the ability to contact a larger percent age, of graduates (or their parents/relatives), to learn more about the graduates who are now gone from the public schools here in Saginaw, but are not forgotten.

BEST COPY AVAILABLE 6 WHO WERE SURVEYED, HOW, AND WHEN? Who: All 492 students who completed their education by receiving a high school diplomafrom either Arthur Hill or Saginaw High School during the 1999-2000 school year were surveyed. Atotal of 376 responded either personally or by proxy. Table I below contains a breakdown by ethnic background and gender of those completingthe follow-up questionnaire and the 2000 graduating class.

The graduating class was made up of 295 (60.0%) from Arthur Hill and 197 (40.0%) from Saginaw High. Thus, Arthur Hill and Saginaw High students were approximately equal to their representation in the graduating class. Generally, the respondents were representative of thegraduating class population in terms of ethnic background, gender, and school. How and When: To determine what they have been doing approximately nine months after graduating, the Evaluationand Quality Measurement Department, in conjunction with the staff from the Saginaw Career Complex (SCC), created a phone survey (see Appendix A for a copy of the instrument.). Graduates were called by telephone March through May, 2001, either by a SCC staff member (if they completed a SCC Program), or by the EQM Staff. The questionnaire directed respondents toidentify issues related to their post- secondary education, employment status, and perception/evaluation of their high school education. The findings, by item, are contained in Appendix B, and represent all the responses received as of May 23, 2001. 2.7 The results of the 2000 graduate follow-up study are presented on the pages that follow.The nine areas of inquiry that are posed and answered include the following: o What are our graduates doing? o How many of our graduates are working for pay? o How much pay do those working receive on a weekly basis? o Who were the main employers of our graduates? o How many of our graduates are looking for a job? o How many of our graduates are pursuing further education? o How well are the schools preparing the graduates in computer literacy and life management skills? o In their current major area of study, how much do our graduates use their high school education? o What do our graduates feel the schools do well and what do they want improved? In addition, trend data are provided where available for up to five priorgraduating classes. Thus, the information related to the 2000 graduates can be put into some perspective by reviewinginformation from prior graduating classes. WIERAT ARE OUR GRADUATES DOING? Our graduates are working for pay, seeking further education/training, or serving their countryin the military. Some 376 (or 93.6%) are placed in these activities (see Appendix D for thiscombined count).

    Saginaw High School 2017-2018 Annual Education Report for 2016-2017 Progress Janice Davis; Principal May 18, 2018 : Dear Parents and Community Members: We are pleased to present you with the Annual Education Report (AER) which provides key information on the 2016-17 educational progress for the Saginaw High School. The AER addresses the complex reporting information required by federal and state laws. The school’s report contains information about student assessment, accountability, and teacher quality. If you have any questions about the AER, please contact Janice Davis, Principal, for assistance. The AER is available for you to review electronically by visiting the following web site: w ww.spsd.net/aer or you may review a copy in the main office at your child’s school. For the 2016-17 school year, schools were identified using new definitions and labels as required in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). A Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) school is one that has at least one underperforming student subgroup. An Additional Targeted Support (ATS) school is one that has three or more underperforming student subgroups. A Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) school is one whose performance is in the lowest 5% of all schools in the state. Some schools are not identified with any of these labels. In these cases, no label is given. Our school was identified as a “COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT AND INTERVENTION” SCHOOL. Saginaw High School was identified as a Partnership School, as of April 2017. The school signed the Partnership Agreement with Michigan Department of Education, the Saginaw Intermediate School District and other community partners.
