Senior Exit Plans SurveyState Summary ReportClass of 2008

Introduction

Since 1992, the Hawaii Department of Education has collected data annually from highschools regarding the education and employment plans of our students completing high school. The Senior Exit Plans Survey (SEPS) provides school and department officials with informationfor school improvement planning, school accountability, and for supporting student guidanceand counseling needs. The SEPS also provides information to institutions of higher learning,state and federal government agencies, legislators, the business community, and to the generalpublic.

This report presents statewide, complex area, and individual school summaries ofstudents’ post-secondary plans for the year following their completion of high school.

It is important to note that students may not respond to each item. Thus, thedenominators used to calculate the percentages reported in this document may differ across andwithin sections. For example, the denominator used to calculate percentages regarding theeducational plans of students in the Educational Plans of School-bound Students section is basedon students who responded to items on school type, status, and location. In this same section, thedenominator used to calculate the percentages regarding acceptance status is based on studentswho responded to items on school type and acceptance status.

Method and Procedures

The SEPS Coordinator at each school, usually a school counselor, was responsible fordistributing, collecting, checking, and returning the completed surveys to the System Evaluationand Reporting Section (SERS) for scanning and tabulation. The SEPS Coordinator was alsoresponsible for reporting the number of seniors and graduating juniors enrolled at the time thesurvey was administered. School personnel, primarily teachers and counselors, administered thesurvey to all seniors and graduating juniors between April and June 2008.

The SEPS was distributed to regular public high schools and to charter schools thatexpressed an interest in participating. The survey instrument is included in Appendix A.


Response Rate

At regular public schools, SEPS coordinators were asked to complete a Senior Exit PlanSurvey response form that indicated the number of seniors enrolled. Graduating juniors wereincluded in the senior enrollment total. A reported 11,754 seniors (and graduating juniors) wereenrolled at the time of the survey. Of these students, 85% (n = 9,969) returned the survey form. At public charter schools, the director was most often the person who completed the Senior ExitPlan Survey form. The participating public charter schools reported 68 seniors enrolled at thetime of the survey. Sixty-seven students returned the survey form for a return rate of 99%. Table 1.1 summarizes the response rates for the state, complex areas and individual schools. Thetable also provides the response rates by regular public and public charter schools.

Summary of FindingsPost-secondary plans

Regular public schools. To find out about their post-secondary school plans, high schoolcompleters were asked what will they most likely be doing in the first year after high school: dothey plan to go to school, work, or join the military, or do they have multiple plans, for example,attend school and join the military. As shown in Table 1.2a, the majority of students (68%)indicated they planned to attend school and work. However, a closer look at students responding“yes” to any of the post-secondary school options reveals that 8,874 (89%) students planned toattend school either as the only option or in combination with other post-secondary options. Less than ten percent of students indicated they had multiple plans that would include school,work, and the military.

In 2004, the military status item was revised to include whether students who intended tojoin the military intended to be active (full time) or participate in the reserves (National Guard orother). It was noted by some coordinators that the response categories were not clear to students. Based upon this feedback, the responses were further refined to more accurately reflect thevarious options available. Thus, there were four response categories: (1) active duty (full-time),(2) reserves (part-time, non-specific locale, all branches), (3) Hawaii Army National Guard(part-time, specific to Hawaii), and (4) Hawaii Air National Guard (part-time, specific toHawaii). This year, of the 789 students who included the military in their post-secondary plans,727 (92%) responded to the military status item. Of these, 46% indicated active status, 25%indicated reserves, 18% indicated Hawaii Army National Guard, and 11% indicated Hawaii AirNational Guard.

Public charter schools. Table 1.2b summarizes charter school students’ post-secondaryplans. Of the 67 students who completed the SEPS, 46 (69%) indicated they planned to attendschool and work. Eighty-seven percent of the students included school in their post-secondaryplans.


Educational Plans of School-Bound Students

Regular public schools. More than four-fifths (89%) of those students completing theSEPS indicated plans to obtain post-secondary education. Table 1.3a summarizes theeducational plans of school bound students. Of the 8,874 students who indicated some type ofpost-secondary education, 8,586 responded to items requesting the type of school (4-year, 2-year,business), status (full or part time), and location (Hawaii, not in Hawaii). Of these school boundstudents, 90% planned to attend a 4-year or 2-year college or university. Those attending a 4-year institution (n=3,685) were much more apt to indicate full-time status (88%) than part-timestatus (12%). Those attending a 2-year institution (n=4,023) were more likely to indicate full-time status (64%) than part-time status (36%). Of the school bound students planning to attend 4-year or 2-year institutions, 75% planned to do so in Hawaii. Approximately 10% of schoolbound students indicated they planned to attend a business or trade school.

Table 1.4a summarizes the acceptance status reported by students. Of those students whoresponded to a survey item regarding school acceptance (n= 8,423), 64% reported they had beenaccepted to the institution of their choice, 6% reported they had not yet been accepted, and 30%had not yet applied.

Table 1.5a summarizes the financial status of school bound students. Of the 8,306 schoolbound students who responded to the financial status item, 53% had applied for financial aid.

Public Charter Schools. Of the charter school students who completed the SEPS item on“plans” (n=67), 58 included school in their post-secondary plans. Of these students, 57responded to items requesting information on type of school (4-year, 2-year, business), status(full or part time), and location (Hawaii, not in Hawaii). Table 1.3b summarizes the educationalplans reported by these 57 school bound students. Most (82%) of these school bound studentsplanned to attend a 4-year or 2-year college or university. Sixty-one percent of these schoolbound students indicated they planned to attend a 4-year or 2-year college or university full-time. Forty-one (72%) planned to attend a 4-year or 2-year institution in Hawaii. Eighteen percent(n=10) indicated plans to attend a business or trade school in Hawaii.

Table 1.4b summarizes school acceptance status reported by charter school students. Sixty percent (n=35) of students reported they had been accepted to the institution of theirchoice. Thirty-six percent (n=21) of students reported they had not yet applied.

Table 1.5b summarizes the financial status of school bound students. Of the 56 schoolbound students who responded to the financial status item, 24 (43%) had applied for financialaid.


School Bound Students and Gender

Regular public schools. As shown in Table 1.6a, a somewhat higher percentage offemales (53%) planned to pursue a post-secondary education. Although females were morelikely than males to have plans to pursue post-secondary education at a 4-year institution, therewas an similar distribution of males and females that planned to attend 2-year institutions andbusiness schools.

Public Charter Schools. As shown in Table 1.6b, of the 57 students who responded,males (n=13) were somewhat more likely to indicate plans to attend a 4 year college thanfemales (n=9; however, females (n=16) were somewhat more likely to indicate plans to attend a2 year college. School Choice

Regular Public Schools. Table 1.7a summarizes students’ school choice. Of thosestudents who indicated their school of choice (n = 8,328), 74% listed Hawaii based colleges,universities, and business schools. Leeward Community College (n=1,195) and the Universityof Hawaii at Manoa (n=937) were the most frequently listed Hawaii based schools. The majorityof students listing Hawaii based schools listed a school associated with the UH system. Table1.8a indicates that students planning to attend out of state schools, tended to choose schoolslocated in the Western states with California based schools (n=284) most frequently listed andfollowed by Oregon (n=218), and Arizona (n=119).

Public Charter Schools. Table 1.7b summarizes students’ school choice. Of thosestudents who indicated their school of choice, the majority (n=46) listed Hawaii based collegesand universities. Windward Community College was the most frequently listed Hawaii basedschool.

Anticipated Field of Study

Regular Public Schools. Students completing the SEPS were asked to indicate their mostlikely field of study. The top three anticipated fields of study were nursing and dental hygiene,business administration, and engineering. As shown in Table 1.9a, “Other” was the mostfrequently listed response. Responses to the “other” field of study option included automotiveindustry (e.g., mechanic, body and repair, technology), cosmetology, communications (e.g.,broadcasting, journalism, radio), criminal justice administration, electrician, fire sciences,forensic science, hospitality, law enforcement, medical technicians (e.g., emergency medicaltechnician, radiology technician, etc.), and a variety of other fields.


Charter Public Schools. Students completing the SEPS were asked to indicate their mostlikely field of study. As shown in Table 1.9b, business administration and medical sciences werethe top two fields of study. The most frequently cited option was the “Other” category.Responses to the “other” field of study option included automotive industry, cosmetology, firesciences, forensic science, hospitality, law enforcement, medical assistant.

*Note: These enrollment figures were submitted by SEPS coordinators on their SEPS Response Form. These figures were requested in March, thus they may be a more accurate reflection of the senior and graduating junior enrollment than the official enrollment figures which are released in September/October. If an enrollment figure was not submitted, then the DOE official enrollment count was used as the denominator.

Table 1.7a. Schools, Colleges, and Universities

Students completing the Senior Exit Plans Survey were asked to write the name of the school they planned to attend during the year following their graduation from high school. The following list gives the names of the schools, listed by state including District of Columbia (with Hawaiì listed first). Students were also asked to bubble in the college or university College Board code of the school they planned to attend; codes for over 100 schools were provided on the back of the survey form. If a student's intended school was not among the those listed on the back of the survey form, students were instructed to write in the name of the school in the space provided. Schools for which there were 10 or more students planning to attend are reported in this table; however, the percents reported below are based upon the total number of school bound students responding to this item (n = 8,328). A zero percent means the number of students planning to attend that college represent less than 1% of the total.

Table 1.8a. School-bound Students by State, Territory, or Country

Students completing the SEPS were asked to write the name of the school they planned to attend during the year following their graduation from high school. This table provides the total number of students who responded to this item, inclusive of schools for which there were less than 10 students planning to attend, by state including District of Columbia (with Hawai'i listed first). Also included are those students who responded planning to attend schools outside of the continental United States. This listing does not include the Technical, Trade, or Institute responses. In most cases these schools did not have a college code that could be used to attribute them to a specific state or the institution listed had multiple locations and the student did not indicate the location they planned to attend. Although these schools could not be attributed to a specific state, territory, or country in the list below, they were reported by students in response to this item and therefore are included in the denominator (n=8,329) used to calculate the percents in this table. A zero percent means the number of students planning to attend that college represent less than 1% of the total.

Students completing the Senior Exit Plans Survey were asked to write the name of the school they planned to attend during the year following their graduation from high school. The following list gives the names of the schools, listed by state (with Hawaiì listed first) and in descending order based on the number of students planning to attend each school. Students were also asked to bubble in the college or university College Board code of the school they planned to attend; codes for over 100 schools were provided on the back of the survey form. If a student's intended school was not among those listed on the back of the survey form, students were instructed to write in the name of the school in the space provided. Percents reported below are based upon the number of school bound students responding to this item (n= 58). A zero percent means the number of students planning to attend that college represent less than 1% of the total.

Table 1.8b. School-bound Students by State

Students completing the SEPS were asked to write the name of the school they planned to attend during the year following their graduation from high school. This listing does not include the Technical, Trade, or Institute responses. In most cases these schools did not have a college code that could be used to attribute them to a specific state or the institution listed had multiple locations and the student did not indicate the location they planned to attend. Although these schools could not be attributed to a specific state, territory, or country in the list below, they were reported by students in response to this item and therefore are included in the denominator (n=58) used to calculate the percents in this table. A zero percent means the number of students planning to attend that college represent less than 1% of the total.
