Excerpt from The High School Failures: A Study of the School Records of Pupils Failing in Academic or Commercial High School Subjects
The American people have a large faith in the public high school. It enrolls approximately 84 per cent of the secondary school pupils of the United States. High school attendance is becoming legally and vocationally compulsory. The size of the waste product demands a diagnosis of the facts. This study aims to discover the Significant facts relative to the failing pupils.
Failure is used in the unit sense of non-passing in a semester subject. Failures are then counted in terms of these units.
This study includes pupils belonging to eight different high schools and distributed throughout two states. The cumu lative, official, school records for these pupils formed the basis of the data used.
The schools were selected primarily for their possession of adequate records. More dependable school records than those employed are not likely to be found, yet they tend to understate the facts of failure. It is quite possible that a superior school, and one with a high grade teaching staff, is actually selected by the requirements of the study.
