Comparing Alternative Measures of High School Completion In: Rethinking High School Graduation Rates and Trends. Mishel, Lawrence and Joydeep Roy, ed. Washington, DC: Economic Policy Institute, April 2006.

[Section VIII] presents a direct comparison of nationwide high school completion by race/ethnicity in each of the three data sources discussed in the previous sections (school enrollment/diploma data, longitudinal surveys of students, and household surveys). The first focus is on those aged 25 to 29 in 2000 in CPS household surveys, which we can then match to our estimates from the decennial census. We use a common breakdown of race/ethnicity into non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Hispanics and correct for higher incarceration among black men and the presence of recent immigrants among Hispanics. We also present separate estimates of high school completion by regular diploma and by GED. This yields an apples-to-apples comparison of the graduation rates (regular diploma or all completions, including GEDs) from various data sources, corrected for the biases that we have documented above. |

National Longitudinal Data In: Rethinking High School Graduation Rates and Trends. Washington, DC: Economic Policy Institute, April 2006. Also: http://www.epi.org/books/rethinking_hs_grad_rates/rethinking_hs_grad_rates-FULL_TEXT.pdf Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY97 Publisher: Economic Policy Institute Keyword(s): Census of Population; GED/General Educational Diploma/General Equivalency Degree/General Educational Development; High School; High School and Beyond (HSB); High School Diploma; High School Dropouts; National Education Longitudinal Survey (NELS) Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Section II summarizes the information on graduation rates from the different longitudinal studies undertaken in the recent past by the Department of Education (DOE), as well as the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The rates of high school completion in these studies, which track individual students over time and sometimes include transcript verification of completion, are significantly higher than those estimated in recent studies. |
