Within each section, key statements, studies, decisions, and changes are cited along with analysis of their reasons, actors, and consequences where apparent. The second part of the paper analyzes and summarizes the preceding descriptions of the development of the comprehensive high school in the United States. The following characteristics are examined: (1) growth in size of population served; (2) definition of comprehensive high school; (3) purpose of comprehensive high school; (4) recommended curriculum; (5) recommended methods of instruction; (6) important issues debated; and (7) source of leadership in the national commissions and study groups reviewed in this paper.
