This report is fifth in a series of annual reports identifying students who drop out of Nevada schools during the course of a school year. Dropout data collection has been extended for 1992-93 to grades 7 and 8. Dropout rates are calculated in a fashion consistent with formulas used in earlier state studies, rather than through the method of the year immediately preceding. During the 1992-93 year 4,797 students in grades 9 through 12 dropped out, resulting in an overall rate of about 8.2%. Both the absolute number and the rate are up from the previous year. Slightly more males dropped out than females (8.8% for males versus 8.6% for females). Asian and Pacific Islanders had the lowest dropout rate and Hispanic Americans had the highest, at 14.3%. Slightly over 46% were withdrawn by themselves or their parents or guardians, but 17.6% were withdrawn by their schools, and 1.1% were incarcerated. Dropout rates for grades 7 and 8 were 2.2%, although patterns suggest that significant numbers could actually be enrolled in other schools. The seventh and eighth grade numbers should be regarded with caution. Five figures and seven tables present dropout figures. (Contains 9 references.) (SLD)
