In fall 1987, Alaska high school seniors were surveyed to determine their opinion of their overall high school experience, their need for additional assistance in selected academic and career planning areas, general demographic information, and post-graduation plans. A 21-item questionnaire was sent to all 211 Alaska public and private high schools in an effort to reach an estimated 7,160 seniors. Study findings, based on responses from 2,910 students, included the following: (1) 51% of the respondents were male, 69% were Caucasian, 18% were Alaska Native, 3% were Black, 3% were Oriental, and small percentages were Hispanic or other; (2) 26.7% rated their overall high school experience "outstanding", 87.8% gave it a "satisfactory" rating, and 9.9% rated it "poor"; (3) 48.4% expressed a need for more assistance in mathematics, 42.6% needed assistance in deciding on a career, and 34% needed assistance in reading and writing skills; (4) 50.6% planned to attend a four-year college, 9.4% planned to attend a two-year college, 8.3% expected to attend a vocational/technical school, and 1.3% planned to enter apprentice training; (5) students who had less than a C average were more likely than students with higher grades to plan to attend a vocational/technical school, become an apprentice, get a full-time job, or be undecided about their plans; and (6) 36% planned to continue their education at an Alaskan school, while 38.0% of those who were going to attend out-of-state institutions planned to return to Alaska after college.
