RESULTS THAT MATTER • Post-Secondary Success • In 2005, Rockman et al conducted a six-month study of Napa New Technology High School (NTHS) alumni (8 graduating classes since opening in 1996). The study gathered feedback from NTHS graduates regarding their postsecondary education and/or career, 21st Century skills, knowledge and use of technology, and on what they valued most about their NTHS experience: • 89% of the responding alumni attended a 2-year or 4-year college/university or professional or technical institute. • 92% of respondents have applied some or a great deal of what they learned at NTHS to their postsecondary education or career. • 96% of the respondents would choose to attend NTHS again. • 40% of the alumni respondents were either majoring in STEM fields or were working in STEM professions. • High School Success • New Tech High School students graduate with a mastery of 21st Century knowledge and skills, prepared for college, career, and citizenship. New Tech High School uses multiple measures to assess student performance and school accountability, including measures of student engagement, academic success, 21st Century skills, and post-secondary success. NTHS Results that Matter shows high school success data on student achievement, 21st Century Skills, graduation requirements, graduation rates, post-secondary enrollments and STEM Careers, Recognitions, and NTHS Network School Success . • http://www.newtechfoundation.org/press_research.html
