THE 2005 NAEP HIGH SCHOOL TRANSCRIPT STUDY

16


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

Graduates earned more credits than previous graduates

Graduates earned more credits in… core courses other academic 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.

Curriculum Levels

Standard Midlevel Rigorous

More graduates completed at least a standard curriculum


NOTE: Details may not sum to total because of rounding. Numbers above the bars represent the percentage completing at least a standard curriculum.


21


* 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.

The pattern for mathematics coursetaking is, in large part,set in the freshman year

23


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).



25


Females completed more midlevel and rigorous curricula than males

* Significantly different from males.
