 FOREWORD

The continued progress of education in Kentucky is the very
personal concern of all our citizens. Of the many ways used to
measure educational progress, it is evident that the method with
universal appeal to parents is “personal” in nature—that is, orderly
progression of their children and their neighbors’ children through
the elementary school and the successful completion of a quality
high school program. This is the minimum expectation of formal
schooling for our youth, held by an increasingly large number of
citizens and the teaching profession in Kentucky.

The facts in this study indicate that a higher dedication is
required of all citizens and the teaching profession if we are to
realize the minimum goal of high school completion by all Kentucky
YOUth able to profit thereby. In achieving this goal, a major concern
of educational leaders in Kentucky is to offer educational opportunities
to meet needs, to improve the quality of instruction, and to achieve
maximum efficiency and economy in school management. In recogni-
tion of the need for continuous and cooperative study of this problem
at state and local levels, a State Committee on School Drop-Outs has
been appointed to spearhead both state-wide and local studies.

Education is the only foundation on which we can build a greater
tucky. Money spent Wisely on education is an investment which
l'eturn useful dividends to the State many times its original cost.
. eIltucky and the nation cannot continue to pay a high price for the

INTRODUCTION

This is the sixth annual report on indication of holding power
and whereabouts of graduates of Kentucky public and non—public
high schools. The first tour reports starting in 1956 were multilithed
and distributed to superintendents and high school principals. The
report on 1960 graduates was expanded to include a summary of
earlier reports now out—ot—print, and was published as the May, 1961
Bulletin of the State Department of Education. It was originally
planned that the report on 1961 graduates would report on this class
only and would be released in multilith form. However, the increas-
ing interest in drop—out studies by national, state, and local agencies
pointed up the need for a recent summary on holding power and
graduates, and prompted the combining into the present report the
1961 annual report on graduates with a six-year summary of data on
Kentucky graduates.

Source of Data

The primary source of data is the principal’s annual high school
rePOI't which is submitted to the State Department of Education in
October. One section of this report, “Last Year’s Graduates,” accounts
f01‘ the number and whereabouts of the preceding year’s class. The
l'eports over the six-year period have reflected a high degree of
“Wrecy in l‘eporting and show increasing efforts on the part of
pl‘lnc1pals to account for all graduates. It is evident from a study
9f the individual reports that the interest shown by the principal and
[11191186. made of the data in a continuing study at the local level'

in the report. When these schools are taken into consideration. there
should be no discrepancy between the summary of the'prrncrpals
annual reports and the graduates as reported by school drstrrcts and
included in the Superintendent’s Biennial Report. The prrncrpal
should make a special effort to see that data on graduates supplied
as a part of the annual attendance report to the Director of Pnprl
Personnel and the number of graduates reported on the annual high
school report are in agreement.

The use of the principal’s annual report as the source of data
required the use of the ninth grade as the base year for computrng
retention rates since eighth grade enrollment data are available (In;
