SUBJECT:
High School Feedback Report for 2007 Graduates
To assist school districts in preparing Florida’s high school graduates for successful transition to
postsecondary education and the workplace, the
High School Feedback Report for 2007 Graduates
, is
currently available to the public online at http://data.fldoe.org/readiness. Now in its fourth year of
publication, the
High School Feedback Report
provides a comprehensive snapshot of the 2007 high
school graduates’ academic experience. Every public high school that had graduates in 2007 has an
online report. Within the report format are pre-graduation and post-graduation indicators of college
readiness; allowing for comparison of school, district, and state data. Additionally, there is a built-in
feature to view 2005-2007 school-, district-, and state-level trend data side by side. There are several
possible approaches for using the feedback data, all of which can be used to better analyze and plan for
improving student learning and achievement.
The Florida Department of Education’s K-20 Education Data Warehouse (EDW) is the reporting source
for the 2007 public high school data and follow-up data for postsecondary enrollment. Comparing the
overall statewide data between 2006 and 2007 graduate cohorts, I am very pleased with continued gains
in:
9
Student enrollment in at least one Dual Enrollment, AP, IB or AICE course;
9
Student performance in entry level and advanced college math and english courses;
9
Students completing at least one Level 3 (college preparatory) high school math and science course;
and
9
Student enrollment in Algebra I or the equivalent prior to Grade 9.
For questions relating to the reports, please contact Dr. Shruti Graf directly at shruti.graf@fldoe.org.
