Morrow Coun ty had a high school drop «tut rate of 6.7% Out of 565 students. 38 were lost for some reason This is a g«xxl record, but it is still disturbing as a l«8 of talent is being lost Does the size of the school have any bearing on the dropout rate?. Our two smallest schools had levs than a one per cent drop «ml rate The largest v. brail has the highest rate, but still was well below the state average The answer to the question seems to be "y e s," as all our high schools arc considered »null by state standards Once the students graduate what do they do? Sixty six percent of the 1987 graduates planned to go to college, cither a two year or tour year school Sixteen percent planned to enter the Armed Forces Therefore, a total of 81% of the graduates had plans to acquire some type of ad vanccd training For schools within our enrollment clavsification. Mor row Counts Sc bools ranked second for students attending Oregon whrailv of higher education We may not head the state in this regard, but many districts would be happy to be able to equal our record. There certainly is no one factor that can he responsible for our ex cellent educational record. Parents, teacher», and most importantly the attitude of the students make this possible Our students have a detinue advantage in that the staff is dedicated to their jobs and want to see their students excel Secondly, our citizens have recognized the need to sup p*irt their school system year after year and should take pride in its accomplishments. Yes the schtxils are doing the job we want As with all things, im provements can be made and will he made Therefore, your continued support and encouragement is needed to keep the system a leader (s) Jerry McElligott School Board Member (Editor '1 S o ft: School hoard and advisory committer members periodically will answer questions they repeatedly are asked by voters.
