  • Summary of Graduate Intentions: 2001-02
    Evaluation & Research Department October 2003 E&R Report No. 02.30 SUMMARY OF GRADUATE INTENTIONS: 2001-02 Overview: Wake County Public Schools graduated 5,406 seniors in 2001-02, and 89% intended to continue their education after graduation. Near the end of each school year, high school seniors complete a Graduating Seniors Intention Survey that serves multiple purposes: it reveals the immediate intentions of each graduating senior; it specifies a select college to receive final transcripts; and it provides a forwarding address for possible follow-up surveys. Using these surveys, guidance counselors and principals complete a composite report of the postgraduate intentions of all students receiving diplomas at any time during the current school year. The required report summarizes intentions by ethnicity and gender. The Evaluation and Research Department (E&R) then compiles the individual school reports and transmits them to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. This report is a brief summary of the information for graduates in the 2001-02 school year. The survey asks students to indicate whether they plan to: • enroll in four-year institutions (broken down by public or private) and whether or not their intended college is in or out of North Carolina; • enroll in two-year community, technical, or junior colleges (broken down by public or private) and whether or not their intended college is in or out of North Carolina; • enroll in trade, business, or nursing schools; • enlist in military service; • seek employment; • do something other than the items listed above. For summary purposes, all four-year institutions are combined, and all two-year institutions are combined in this report.
