FOREWORD

It is significant that the record number of graduates of Ken-
tucky public high schools in 1960 was admitted to ninth grade classes
in 1956-57 — the first year of the fully-financed Foundation Program.
This first complete class under the new program showed an increase
016,077 graduates over the 1956 class. A thirty percent increase in
graduates in four years is important in a day when practically all
doors are closed to youth without a high school diploma. The really
significant fact is that a substantial part of this increase, 2,434 or 40%,
came from a steady increase in survival rates over the five-year period.
1111956, a relatively low 55.5% of all ninth grade enrollment com—
pleted high school in Kentucky. In 1960, 61.4% of ninth grade enroll-
ment completed high school, compared to a national average of approx—
imately 68%.

The primary concern of the Department of Education is to im—
prove the quality of our instructional program and to achieve effi—
ciency and economy in management. There is a high degree of
correlation between the quality of an educational program in our
State and the percent of our school age population completing high
school; the percent attending college; and the percent seeking other
post-high school opportunities for training.

. Other studies have shown that there is a high degree 0f corre-
latlon between the per capita income of a state and the educational
level) of its People. In other words, a trained mind in this age is the
states number one asset. Money Spent wisely on education is an
Investment which will return to the state in ever-increasing dividends
many times its original cost.

also believed that this study will be of value to local citizens’ com-
mittees in each school district in evaluating its local school program
and planning for the future.

Education is the only foundation on which we can build a greater
Kentucky. The quickest way to bankrupt our state is to fail to invest
in our greatest potentiality—our children.

INTRODUCTION

This is the fifth annual report in a series starting in 1956 on Ken-
tucky high school graduates. Previous reports have been multilithed
and distributed to superintendents and high school principals as a
reference point in holding power studies and program planning.
Since earlier reports are no longer available, it was decided that the
1960 study should include a summary of previous reports, tables from
the 1959 report and current year, and related data as a general review
and resource bulletin for the five-year period 1955—1960.

Nature of the Study

The scope of this report is limited by its source of data to answer-
ing questions of How much? or How many? Its major purpose is to
stimulate questions that get at the \N’liy? \Vhat? and How? in ex-
plaining the data presented, such as:

What percent of pupil losses in Kentucky high schools are due
to drop-outs?

Why do students drop out of school?
What factors contribute to early school leaving?
How can the high school increase its holding power?

How can better articulation between elementary and high school
he achieved?

What “37%” of the graduates of Kentucky high schools attend
college?

7 4 ' - . . .
\lhat additional counseling and guidance servrces are needed?

A“ mClBaSing number of school districts and individual schools

carry .011 Continuing studies that provide answers to these ques-

Sources of Data

The primary source of data is the principals’ annual high school
report which is submitted to the State Department of Education in
October. One section of this report, “Last Year’s Graduates”, accounts
for the number and whereabouts of the preceding year’s class. The
reports over the five-year period have reflected a high degree of accur-
acy in reporting and show increasing efforts on the part of principals
to account for all graduates. It is evident from a study of the reports
that the completeness varies with the type of record system in oper-
ation, the interest shown by the principal, and the extent of organized
guidance services.

Enrollment data for grades 9-12 are taken from KENTUCKY
HIGH SCHOOLS, the May bulletin of the State Department of
Education. Tables that include eighth grade enrollment data are
taken from the Biennial Reports of the Superintendent of Public
Instruction. This is necessary since the annual high school bulletin
reports only on the eighth grade enrollment included in the high
school organization. The use of the annual high school bulletin as
the source of enrollment data prompted the use of the ninth grade
as the base year for computing survival rates. Due to relatively high
drop—outs in the upper elementary grades it is recommended that an
earlier year, even below the eighth, be used to reflect more com-
pletely the holding power of the school. The U. S. Office of Education
uses the fifth grade as the base year. The NEA Research Division
makes frequent use of the eighth grade as the base year as indicated
in Table 12 in this report.

Interpretation of Data

There is always some risk involved in attempting a comparison
of data from different sources. Enrollment data in the annual high
school report submitted in October will vary slightly from enrollment
data in the superintendent’s statistical report submitted at the c1956
of the school year. The latter source of data goes into the Biennial
Report. A further precaution is necessary in comparing public 111%11
school retention rates with national retention studies Which include
estimates for non—public schools as indicated in the footnote to Table
10. In this study, the reader is requested to consider all ret‘enhon
rates and college enrollment in first year following graduahon a;
approximate only. For clarity of reporting, brief notes are l'IICh‘de
for the tables in the separate parts of the report.

OVERVIEW

The first five—year span of the Foundation Program, 1956-60,
witnessed a steady growth in number of public high school graduates
from 19,689 in 1956 to 25,766 in 1960—a gain of 6,077 graduates or
31%.

Of this gain, 2,434 or 40% reflect a steady increase in the holding
power of the high school from the ninth grade; the remainder of 3,643
graduates represent a steady increase in school population.

In the five—year period, non-membership of high school youth
from five major causes has been reduced from 32,896 to 26,247 or a
net change of 6,649 fewer out-of-school youth in the school-age
population.

The improved ratio of all non-membership to enrollment (from
11.67% to 8.0%) for the five-year period of the Foundation Program
reflects a net changeover of 17,176 children and youth from a non-
membership status to school enrollment.

Public high school enrollment (grades 9-12) increased from
120,435 in 1956 to 135,502 in 1960, a gain of 15,067 or 12.5%. Total
high school enrollment for these grades, public and non-public high
schools, increased from 134,617 in 1955-56 to 151,025 in 1959-60, a
gem of 16,408 or 10.8% for the upper four year program in all high
schools in Kentucky.

Public high school graduates increased from 19,689 in 1956 to
25,766 in 1960, an increase of 6,077 or 31%. Total high school gradu-
ates from all public and non-public high schools increased from 22,565
1111956to 29,278 in 1960, an increase of 6,713 graduates or 30%.

. In public high schools for the five-year period, 1956 to 1960, the
T121th of graduates to ninth grade enrollment increased from 555 per
’qu t0'614 graduates per 1,000 ninth grade enrollment; for non-
Irhlb 11011lgh'schools, 740 to 761 per 1,000 ninth grade enrollment under
Mir: $180th conditions; and for all high schools in Kentucky, the

13.7 ..... . .

In 1960, of the 393 complete public high schools, 64 school
16.3%, had graduating classes of 100 or more graduates. These 64
schools enrolled 43.9% of the total ninth grade public school enroll-
ment; produced 43.6% of total graduates in the State, and 49.6% of
all public high school graduates enrolling in college or university.

For the comparable year, 112 public high schools, 28.5% of the
total, with graduating classes of 3 to 29, enrolled 8.8% of the total
ninth grade public school enrollment, produced 8.5% of total gradu-
ates, and 6.3% of the total graduates enrolling in college or university.
Many factors should be taken into consideration in interpreting these
data.

In 1960, ten of the 68 non-public high schools in Kentucky had
graduating classes of 100 or more students. These 10 high schools
enrolled 45.2% of the ninth grade four years earlier; produced 44.3%
of the graduates; and 43.4% of the total graduates enrolling in college
or university.

In 1960, of the 68 non-public high schools, 27 schools or 40% with
graduating Classes of one to 29 enrolled 11% of total ninth grade, pro-
duced 11.2% of graduates, and 12% of total graduates enrollingin
college or university. Many of these schools are highly selective, and
had, in many cases, almost 100% completion of high school from 9th
grade, and 100% enrollment in college.
