Abstract
Data concerning the Classes of 1978, 1979 and 1980 from North Bullitt High School, the Bullitt County School System and the State of Kentucky were compared to determine the holding power, survival rates and whereabouts of graduates. The comparison of data concerning holding power and survival rates showed that North Bullitt High School compared favorably with both the Bullitt County School System and the State of Kentucky. The data showed that for the three year period from 1978 to 1980 the holding power of North Bullitt High School increased while the holding power of both the Bullitt County School System and the State of Kentucky decreased. The comparison of data concerning the whereabouts of graduates showed that North Bullitt High School compared favorably with the Bullitt County School System and the State of Kentucky in all but one area. The data showed that the State of Kentucky had a significantly higher percentage of graduates who planned to attend college than either North Bullitt High School or the Bullitt County School System. The comparison of data concerning the whereabouts of North Bullitt High School’s 1978, 1979 and 1980 graduates showed a significant differences between what the graduates anticipated doing after leaving school and what the graduates are actually doing.
