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. Attachments contain a summary of Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) graduate intentions for 2001-02, detailed tables showing all postgraduate categories for all schools, Graduate Intentions Over a Four-Year Period by School, and a sample of the Graduating Seniors Intention Survey

A total of 5,406 students graduated from 15 high schools and one alternative school during the 2001-02 school year. This constitutes a 4.92% increase from last year.

Of the total number of graduating students in WCPSS, 49% were males and 51% were females. The following figure shows the distribution of males and females in the prescribed postgraduate categories. More females than males planned to attend four-year colleges, and more females than males intended to continue with some form of schooling. About 6% of females and 11% of males intended to enter the military or get a full-time job. Results by gender are nearly the same as for 2000-01 graduates.

The next table illustrates the breakdown by subgroups designated in federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation. By ethnicity, the group with the highest percentage of students planning to attend a four-year college was Asian at 78.2%; Hispanic/Latino graduates had the lowest percentage at 44.1%. American Indian and Black graduates had the highest percentage of students planning to get a full-time job (10%) while Asian graduates had the lowest percentage at 1.3%.

Figure 3 compares WCPSS graduating students to all graduating students in North Carolina for the last two years for which data is available. WCPSS had a higher percentage of both White and Black students planning to attend four-year institutions. While 66% of White students in WCPSS planned to attend four-year colleges in 2001-02, only 44% of all North Carolina White students had those aspirations, a 22-point difference. About 53% of Black graduates in WCPSS planned to attend four-year colleges, compared to 46% of all North Carolina Black graduates.

Figure 4 shows a breakdown of graduating seniors by ethnicity for each WCPSS high school. The 2001-02 graduating class size of the comprehensive high schools ranged from 180 students at Wakefield (first year of graduating seniors) to 496 students at Enloe. The average graduating class from a WCPSS high school in 2001-02 was 357 students. (Note: Longview and Phillips are alternative schools with specialized programs and do not offer a comprehensive curriculum.)

Figure 6 shows that there has been little change in graduate intentions over time. There has been a slight gradual decrease in students planning to attend four-year colleges (64% in 1999- 2000, 63% in 2000-01, and 62% in 2001-02), and a slight increase in students planning to attend two-year colleges (22% in 1999-2000, 24% in 2000-01, and 25% in 2001-02).

While the districtwide percentage of graduates planning to attend four-year colleges has remained relatively stable during the past four years, five schools show larger changes. Garner has decreased fifteen percentage points (from 54% down to 39%), Cary has decreased eleven percentage points (from 65% down to 54%), and East Wake has dropped four points (from 49% to 45%). Leesville Road has increased five points (from 71% to 76%) and Broughton has increased four points (from 73% to 77%). Attachment 3 provides more detailed information on high school graduate intentions by school over a four-year period.

Districtwide percentages of graduates planning to seek employment have also remained relatively stable: 7% in 1998-99 and 1999-2000 decreasing to 5% in 2000-01 and 2001-02. Changes in the percentages of graduates planning to seek employment are more significant for three high schools. Southeast Raleigh dropped eleven points (from 15% down to a current 4%) and Athens Drive dropped eight points (from 10% down to 2%). However the percentages increased eight percentage points for Garner, from 7% in 1998-99 up to 15% in 2001-02.
