LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: The annual statistical report on the high school
graduate follow-up study is being submitted to the Board of Education as a
summary of the activities of the graduates of the class of June, 1965.

The analysis of the statistics in the report shows that 53.6 percent of those
graduates located are continuing their education on a full-time or part-time
basis. There were 2,051 graduates attending 432 colleges, institutions and
schools of higher learning on a full-time basis and 139 enrolled on a part-time
basis in 43 schools. Included is a list of institutions attended by the graduates.
The report also gives the statistical data about the number of graduates em-
ployed, entered in military services, married, and other information.

The report also reveals by curriculum programs the following information:
92.9% of the graduates located in the honors program are continuing their
education full-time or part-time.

76.8% of the graduates located in the regular program (college preparatory)
are continuing their education full-time or part-time.

31.6% of the graduates located in the general program are continuing
their education full-time or part-time.

13.5% of the graduates located in the special academic program are con-
tinuing their education full-time or part-time, eight of whom are in four-year
colleges.

A comparison with the 1964 high school graduate follow-up study reveals
that:

six hundred and ninety-eight (698) more graduates have been located.

an increase of 56 in the number of institutions attended on a full-time basis.
a small increase of students, approximately 1%, are continuing their educa-
tion on a full-time basis.
