Mesa Public Schools: As Seen through the Eyes of 1984 Graduates.
Cox, Billie
Questionnaires were administered to the 2,404 members of the 1984 graduating class of the Mesa Public Schools (Arizona) to aid in planning and implementation of programs and policies suited to the variety of student needs in the school system. Subjects were selected from five high schools. The questionnaire survey, which is part of an ongoing assessment program begun with the 1971 graduates and continued with 1976 and 1980 graduates, was administered via the mail. The total number of respondents was 340. The questionnaire included general and tracking questions, attitudinal items, needs items, and open-questions to allow for student comments. Data from the survey and comparisons with previous surveys provide insights in the areas of financial guidance, instructional techniques, student course selection, required courses, career decision making, preparation for postsecondary education, and student participation in policy development. Ten figures and seven data tables are provided, and the High School Graduate Follow-Up Questionnaire is appended. (TJH)
