Are our schools competitive.’
W ith the limited job opportunities available for
high school graduates within this county, we train
our graduates for w*mc»me else This is by no means
just a local problem as many of our neighboring
districts do the sanK It is important, therefore, that
our graduates be able to compete favorably with
graduates from every whixil system within the state
The high school dropout rate should be examined as it also affects
the job p«4cntial of the non-graduate The drop-out rate statewide is in
excess of twenty percent A student is considered to be a dropout if
he or she does not complete high school within a four year time frame
The student that drops back one year for any reason is still considered
a drop-«*ut A transfer student is not a drop-out if his records have been
requested by another school With these points in mind. 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
