| Abstract | This report summarizes information on dropouts in Delaware for the school year 1988-1989. It indicates that 2,034 students in grades 9 through 12 dropped out of school, representing an annual dropout rate of 7.3%. Statistics from past years are included to chart trends and it is shown that the annual dropout rate has remained relatively steady over the past 3 years, with a slight downward trend during the last decade. A section on methodology discusses measurement and reporting of dropout information. The report presents a breakdown of the state's dropouts by grade and district and includes countywide patterns in dropouts. A table grouping dropout data by age and grade simultaneously shows that most dropouts left school at ages 16 and 17 and most were overage for grade placement. Examination of the state's dropouts by race shows that the annual dropout rate for Blacks was 1.7 times the rate for whites and the rate for Hispanics was 2.3 times the rate for Whites. Reasons for dropping out are classified into three broad categories: school, economic, and personal. A section on the academic performance of dropouts presents data which suggest that significant numbers of dropouts are capable of satisfactory levels of academic achievement. The report concludes by emphasizing Delaware's commitment to understand and deal with the conditions that lead to dropping out of school. (NB) |
