This report presents data from the second year of a multiyear study designed to evaluate student performance in terms of measures related to the statewide goals for education in Kentucky's schools and then to determine the relationship between school system characteristics and the quality of student performance. Student performance was analyzed for the six goal areas of 1) general education, 2) occupational competence, 3) human relationships, 4) citizenship, 5) cultural appreciation, and 6) creative, constructive, and cultural thinking. All the public school districts that chose to participate in the Kentucky Educational Assessment Program were selected for the study, including 109 districts for which fourth-grade general education data were available, 92 districts for which eighth-grade data on all six measures were available, and 86 districts for which eleventh-grade data on all six measures were available. Performance data for each goal area and school district were analyzed and used to determine which characteristics differentiated the top 30 districts from the bottom 30 districts. (Author/JG)
