Abstract	A 5-year followup study was conducted of students who had participated in the 1987 Every Secondary Student Survey of the Toronto (Ontario, Canada) public schools. In the 1987-88 school year, 4,077 Toronto students started grade 9. By the followup year, 56 percent graduated with diplomas or completed 30 or more secondary credits. Eleven percent had not graduated and were still in school, and 33 percent had left school without graduating. The 33 percent cohort dropout rate is quite different from the 8 percent annual dropout rate of 1991-92 for all secondary students. In this cohort, 69 percent of advanced-level students graduated, compared with 40 percent of general-level students and 27 percent of basic-level students. Females were more likely to graduate than males, as were students from high socioeconomic status families. Graduation rates for the major racial groups were (1) Asians, 72 percent; (2) Blacks, 44 percent; and (3) Whites, 59 percent. Credits completed by the end of one year of secondary school was a fairly accurate predictor of graduation. Overall, student achievement was found to be related to sociodemographic variables. Five figures and six charts present study findings. (Contains 20 references.) (SLD)
