Description: This report presents findings from the 2000 High School
Transcript Study (HSTS 2000) and examines the trends and changes in high
school curriculum and student coursetaking patterns for the past decade. This
publication allows policymakers, researchers, education agencies, and the
public to examine the current status of the curricula being offered in public
and non-public high schools. The HSTS 2000 collected 20,931 transcripts of
students graduating from 277 American high schools. Results from the HSTS
2000 are presented with respect to earned course credits, grade point
average, and education achievement, as measured by the National
Assessment of Educational Progress 2000 Mathematics and Science
assessments. In addition, results are compared across the four High School
Transcript Studies between 1990 and 2000 (HSTS 1990, HSTS 1994, HSTS
1998, and HSTS 2000). Findings are presented throughout the report by
selected student and school characteristics, including student gender, student
race/ethnicity, school type (public vs. nonpublic), and region of the country.
