NAEP High School Transcript Studies
Description
The 2000 High School Transcript Study (HSTS) was conducted by Westat for the U.S. Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics. This study provides the Department of Education and other educational policymakers with information regarding current course offerings and students’ coursetaking patterns in the nation’s secondary schools. Since similar studies were conducted on the coursetaking patterns of 1982, 1987, 1990, 1994, and 1998 graduates, one research objective was to study changes in these patterns. Another research objective was to compare coursetaking patterns to study results on the 2000 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). NAEP is a federally funded, ongoing, periodic assessment of educational achievement in the various subject areas and disciplines taught in the nation’s schools. Since 1969, NAEP has gathered nationwide information about the levels of educational achievement of elementary and secondary school students.
