Interview data from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth Labor Market Experience for a sample of 12,700 youths aged 14-21 are used to examine several elements of their high school & Coll experiences, noting their variation by race, sex, & SE background. Examined at the high school level are attitudes toward school, performance, programs & courses, & the problems of dropping out; at the Coll level, they include participation rates, attendance patterns, major fields of study, & sources of financial aid. Results reveal substantial differences in some areas but not in others; eg, attitudes toward school & Coll participation rates vary little among groups, while high school dropout rates vary widely among race & SE groups, & Coll majors vary somewhat among racial groups & particularly between men & women. 8 Tables, 29 References.
