| Abstract: |
This report examines the results of the Senior Exit Survey, which is administered annually to all graduating high school students. The fivefold purpose of the survey is to examine: (1) seniors' post-secondary plans; (2) the credentials they plan to acquire; (3) the institutions they plan to attend; (4) the fields of study they choose to pursue; and (5) their community service experiences. All twelfth-grade students enrolled in traditional and charter high schools within the district were targeted to receive the survey. A summary of the results across schools is presented, with the exception of special education centers and the juvenile justice center which elicited very few valid responses. A total of 79.4% of seniors completed the survey, of which 97.4% were eligible to graduate. Of those students, 83.9% plan to acquire a certificate, license, or degree, with over 69.6% planning to earn a Bachelor's or higher degree, either directly or after first earning an Associate's degree. Most seniors pursuing a certificate, license, or degree plan to attend an institution in Florida. Among the responding seniors eligible to receive a diploma, Business, Management, Accounting, Finance was the most popular choice of major, followed by Biology, Biochemistry, Biological and Biomedical Sciences, and Nursing.
