WHERE HAVE ALL THE STUDENTS GONE?
A new study by Walt Haney, George Madaus, Lisa Abrams among others at the National Board on Educational Testing and Public Policy at Boston College, concludes that despite a significant increase in kindergarten attendance, there is a growing bulge of students in the 9th grade, significantly fewer students reaching 10th grade, and major declines in high school graduation rates, especially in some of the nation’s largest states. The study, “The Education Pipeline in the United States, 1970-2000” analyzes educational statistics collected by the federal government to examine the education pipeline and identify key transition points through which students progress, or fail to progress from kindergarten through the grades to high school graduation.
