While determining these rates may seem like a straightforward task, their calculation is in fact quite complicated. How does one count a student who leaves a regular high school but later completes a GED? How does one count a student who spends most of his/her high school years at one school and then transfers to another? If the student graduates, which school should receive credit? If the student drops out, which school should take responsibility? This book addresses these issues and to examine (1) the strengths, limitations, accuracy, and utility of the available dropout and completion measures; (2) the state of the art with respect to longitudinal data systems; and (3) ways that dropout and completion rates can be used to improve policy and practice.--Publisher's description. 606 $aHigh school graduates$zUnited States 606 $aHigh school dropouts$zUnited States 606 $aDropout behavior, Prediction of 606 $aEducational indicators$zUnited States 615 0$aHigh school graduates 615 0$aHigh school dropouts 615 0$aDropout behavior, Prediction of. 615 0$aEducational indicators 676 $a371.219 701 $aHauser$b Robert Mason$01101712 701 $aKoenig$b Judith A$01495660 712 02$aNational Academy of Education. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.) 712 02$aNational Academies Press (U.S.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960121503321 996 $aHigh school dropout, graduation, and completion rates$94352510 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02759nam 2200553Ia 450 001 9910960835803321 005 20251017110055.0 010 $a0-309-16638-1 010 $a0-309-53116-0 035 $a(CKB)111087027010044 035 $a(EBL)3375965 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000103625 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11133220 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000103625 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10070006 035 $a(PQKB)11695339 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3375965 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3375965 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10051688 035 $a(OCoLC)923260073 035 $a(DNLM)1639519 035 $a(BIP)53858599 035 $a(BIP)12806783 035 $a(EXLCZ)99111087027010044 100 $a20030624d2004 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aAnimal care and management at the National zoo $einterim report /$fCommittee on a Review of the Smithsonian Institution's National Zoological Park 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aWashington, D.C. $cNational Academic Press$dc2004 215 $a1 online resource (129 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a0-309-09178-0 327 $a""FRONT MATTER""; ""Contents""; ""EXECUTIVE SUMMARY""; ""1 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND""; ""2 ANIMAL CARE AND MANAGEMENT""; ""3 RECORD KEEPING""; ""4 PEST MANAGEMENT""; ""5 MISSION AND STRATEGIC PLANNING""; ""REFERENCES""; ""NATIONAL ZOO DOCUMENTS""; ""APPENDIXES""; ""A a???
