  14. National study representing 2.7 million 2005 high school graduates • based on 26,000 transcripts • over 700 public and private schools The 2005 NAEP High School Transcript Study (HSTS) examines coursetaking patterns and grades • trends over time • demographic differences • associations with NAEP achievement

  15. THE 2005 HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT STUDY

  16. Core credits Other academic credits Other credits Graduates earned more credits than previous graduates • Graduates earned more credits in… • core courses • other academic courses but did not earn more credits in other courses * Significantly different from 2005. NOTE: Details may not sum to total because of rounding. Numbers above the bars represent total credits. Core credits are English, mathematics, science, and social studies. Other academic credits are fine arts, foreign languages, and computer-related studies. Other credits include all other courses such as vocational education, personal health,and physical education. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Transcript Study (HSTS), various years, 1990—2005.

  17. Curriculum Levels Standard: 4 credits – English; 3 each - social studies, mathematics, and science Midlevel: Standard credits plus more challenging requirements for mathematics and science, and a foreign language requirement Rigorous: Midlevel plus additional credits for mathematics and foreign language

  18. Standard Midlevel Rigorous More graduates completed at least a standard curriculum * Significantly different from 2005. NOTE: Details may not sum to total because of rounding. Numbers above the bars represent the percentage completing at least a standard curriculum. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Transcript Study (HSTS), various years, 1990—2005.

  19. Geometry Algebra II Advancedmathematics/calculus The pattern for mathematics coursetaking is, in large part,set in the freshman year PERCENT COMPLETING SPECIFIC COURSE BY END OF HIGH SCHOOL * Significantly different from below algebra I. NOTE: Advanced mathematics includes courses, other than calculus, that are generally taken after algebra II (e.g., AP statistics and precalculus). SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Transcript Study (HSTS), 2005.

  20. THE 2005 HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT STUDY

  21. Graduates taking calculus or advanced mathematics courses have higher average NAEP mathematics scores • Graduates taking physics or other advanced science courses have higher average NAEP science scores * Significantly different from next highest level completed. NOTE: Advanced mathematics includes courses, other than calculus, that are generally taken after algebra II (e.g., AP statistics and precalculus). Advanced science courses are science courses typically taken after physics (e.g., AP physics and IB chemistry). SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Transcript Study (HSTS), 2005.

  22. THE 2005 HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT STUDY

  23. Rigorous Midlevel Standard Less than standard Females completed more midlevel and rigorous curricula than males * Significantly different from males. NOTE: Details may not sum to total due to rounding. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Transcript Study (HSTS), 1990 and 2005.

  24. Male Female Males earned higher NAEP mathematics scores than females completing the same level of mathematics courses • Males had higher NAEP science scores than females completing the same level of science courses * Significantly different from males. NOTE: Advanced mathematics includes courses, other than calculus, that are generally taken after algebra II (e.g., AP statistics and precalculus). Advanced science courses are science courses typically taken after physics (e.g., AP physics and IB chemistry).

  25. THE 2005 HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT STUDY

  26. Black graduates closed a 6 percentage point gap with White graduates in the percent completing a curriculum level at or above midlevel since 1990 * Significantly different from 2005. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Transcript Study (HSTS), various years, 1990—2005.

  27. The 2005 gap between White and Hispanic graduates completingcurricula at or above midlevel was not different from 1990 * Significantly different from 2005. SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Transcript Study (HSTS), various years, 1990—2005.

  28. White Black White graduates had higher average NAEP mathematics scoresthan Black graduates completing the same mathematics course * Significantly different from White graduates. ‡ Insufficient sample size for reliable estimate. NOTE: Advanced mathematics includes courses, other than calculus, that are generally taken after algebra II (e.g., AP statistics and precalculus). SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Transcript Study (HSTS), 2005.

  29. Black Hispanic • White graduates outperformed Hispanic graduates completing the same mathematics course on average NAEP mathematics assessment White * Significantly different from White graduates. ‡ Insufficient sample size for reliable estimate. NOTE: Advanced mathematics includes courses, other than calculus, that are generally taken after algebra II (e.g., AP statistics and precalculus). SOURCE: U.S. Department of Education, Institute of Education Sciences, National Center for Education Statistics, High School Transcript Study (HSTS), 2005.

  30. White Black Hispanic Asian/Pacific Islander • Asian/Pacific Islander graduates outperformed both Black and Hispanic graduates * Significantly different from White graduates. ‡ Insufficient sample size for reliable estimate. NOTE: Advanced mathematics includes courses, other than calculus, that are generally taken after algebra II (e.g., AP statistics and precalculus).
