Acknowledgments

The research reported in this study was financed through a contract

with the Bureau of Indian Affairs, U. S. Department of the Interior.

To begin to thank individually the several hundred people who

cooperated in this research project would be an enormous task. We are

particularly indebted to all the superintendents, principals and teachers,

personnel (with agencies and area offices) of the Bureau of Indian Affairs,

tribal office officials and employees, staff members of State Departments

of Education, and the parents and relatives of many of the pupils. Without

their cooperation and assistance, this project would have been impossible.

Drs. Robert Rath and Michael Giammatteo of the Laboratory

contributed invaluable assistance in the formulation of the study, and in the

encouragement and suggestions which they offered at various times during

the course of the project.

Ed Johnson, study Co-Director, was particularly helpful in

establishing field contacts and in the collection of the data.

Appreciation is du.e Gary Echternacht, Research Statistician, for

suggestions on handling the data and for supervision of the coding; also to

Page 9: The magnitude of the dropout problem among …The magnitude of the dropout problem among Indians was illustrated by a study which followed students registered in grade 8 as of November

the staff of the Laboratory Computer Division who frequently disrupted their

work schedules in order to work on this project.

Appreciation is also due Dan Stephens for execution of the cover

design and to him and other members of the Laboratory Communications

Division for review and suggestions regarding the format of this report. The

careful and meticulous work of Mrs. Bonnie Rosen in typing the final copy,

particularly the figures and tables, is gratefully acknowledged.

Finally, to Mrs. Isobel Rooney, Project Secretary, we express our

deep indebtedness. She served cheerfully and efficiently in managing the

detail of the office and the project, in assisting in data colis3ction and checking

its accuracy, and generously ministering to our needs while acting as factotum.

PART I

INTRODUCTION

Research Objectives

Repeated inquiries are made about the number of American Indian

students who progress or drop out of school from grade 8 through grade 12.

The response of the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory to the dearth

of information which triggered the inquiries was to launch this study to collect

recent. hard data on the education of Indian youth. The Laboratory expects to

use the findings of the study as part of the base which will be utilized in the

formulation of some of its activities. So a general purpose of this study is to

provide some data for organizations and agencies which may lead to indepth

studies, to development of experimental progrmns, and to more rational

decisions about the education for Indian students.

Specific objectives of the study were:

To provide a statistical report of progress and dropouts of Indian

students registered in grade 8 as of November, 1962 through June,

19 / by area, state, type of school, tribal group, and the majority-

minority position of Lndian students in the schools in the six-state

area Of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and North and South

Dakota.

To develop and demonstrate a feasible system for data collection on a

continuing basis.

Related Literature

There is no intent in this study to draw inferences from or to interpret

the data reported. The following infornation from recent studies, far from

exhaustive, is presented in order to provide a framework for the data of the

study and a base for comparison. The reader is cautioned that the factors

which are characteristic of the dropout are extremely complex. In the absence

of most of these factors from this study, casual inferences regarding the cause

of dropouts are unwarranted. The statistical data of this study is useful only

in assessing the magnitude of the problem of the Indian high school dropout in

the northwest United States.

Studies do not agree on the number of dropouts in the American school

population. The reasons for the disagreement are to be found partially in the

v,arying definitions of "dropout" and partially in the varying methodologies

utilized for ascertaining the number of dropouts. One summary of the

literature1 reports public high school graduates in 1965-66 as a percent of

ninth graders in the fall of 1962. For the total United States this percent is

listed as 77.3 percent. For the states in which this study is thterested, the

figures are:

Oregon: 83.5% Montana: 83.6%Washington: 85.7 % North Dakota: 84.0%Idaho: 79.9% South Dakota: 85.6%

Page 26: The magnitude of the dropout problem among …The magnitude of the dropout problem among Indians was illustrated by a study which followed students registered in grade 8 as of November

Or, put in another way, the dropout rate from the ninth to twelfth grades from

1962 to 1966 was 22.17 percent for the United States as compared with a drop-

out rate of 16.3 percent for the six-state region. Apker, 2 in his survey,

estimates that less than 40 percent of Indian high school entrants graduate as

compared to 60 percent of all American students. Spilka and Bryde3 state

that on a national level in the 1963 school year dropouts averaged 23 percent

of the school population as compared with a dropout rate for Indian students of

about 60 percent.

The State Department of Instruction in a study of the South Dakota

secondary school (grades 9-12) dropout population in 1963-64 showed that 59

percent of Indian dropouts occur in the ninth grade compared with 20 percent

for non-Indians.

An as yet unpublished study4 compared eighth grade students on the

Pine Ridge Reservation who subsequently dropped from school with those who

remained. It was found that 57 percent of dropouts are boys compared with

48 percent in the school population; 67 percent of dropouts are from country

districts as compared to 50 percent from country districts in the total school

population; dropouts tended to be older at entrance to ninth grade (64 percent

were 16 years of age or over) compared to those who remained (81 percent

were 15 years of age or under); dropouts achieved a mean score on the 28th

percentile in the Iowa test of educational achievement as compared to a mean

score on the 42nd percentile for those remaining.

Page 27: The magnitude of the dropout problem among …The magnitude of the dropout problem among Indians was illustrated by a study which followed students registered in grade 8 as of November

Karrigan 5 concluded in a study on the Tula lip Reservation in

Washington State that Indians had a consistent school performance record; low

but consiste it with the status of their mental age, readiness and attendance.

The conclusions were based on the follnwing fnotnrs.

Ac..... One-half of Indian students were over the average age in their

classes compared to one-seventh of the non-Indians.

Achievement: Indian achievement was closest to the non-Indian in

grade 4 with the gap widening thereafter and the greatest disparity in

achievement reached in high school.

Retention in grades: Much greater with Indians.

Attendance: The mean in a school year of 130 days ranged, for

Indians, from 141-156 days and for non-Indians from 168-173 days.

Johnson, 6 in a comparative study of educational attainment of Warm

Springs Indians and non-Indians, concluded that with the exception of a few spe-

cific instances the analysis of educational attainment factors for the period

1955-1965 inclusive indicated that the Indians showed no gain compared with

non-Indians. More specifically, comparing Indians with non-Indians:

Gain was shown for the factor of age retardation or overage in grade;

No gain was shown for the factor of the dropoui, rate;

No gain was shown for the factor of intelligence quotient. score;

Regression was shown when the factor of graduation rate was

considered; and

Page 28: The magnitude of the dropout problem among …The magnitude of the dropout problem among Indians was illustrated by a study which followed students registered in grade 8 as of November

Regression was shown when the factor of grade point average was

considered.

Research Procedures

5

The following criteria were used to determine the schools from which

a stratified random sample was drawn.

1. State and Area: Schools and tribal groups had to be in those

portions of the states of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana,

North and South Dakota which were included in the Aberdeen,

Billings; and Portland area jurisdiction for the Bureau of Indian

Affairs.

2. Tribal Units: Tribal units were determined by state as derived

from the 1962-63 census of tribes. Tribal units of less than 200 .

population were deleted. An Indian was defined as an individual

who possessed a blood quantum of one-fourth or more.

3. Schools: Schools with concentrations of Indian students from

tribal groups were identified through State Departments of Educa-

tion, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and public and private school,

authorities. Schools with less than 10 Indian students enrolled in

grade 8 in 1962-63 were to be deleted. Because schools over-

estimated totals of Indian students, usually because they identified

pupils with less than one-fourth degree of Indian blood as Indians,

Page 29: The magnitude of the dropout problem among …The magnitude of the dropout problem among Indians was illustrated by a study which followed students registered in grade 8 as of November

6

six schools are included in the sample with less than ten Indian

students registered in grade 8 as of November 1, 1962.

Schools were identified as having Indian students as a majority

(60 percent or more Indian), as a balance (40-59 percent Indian),

and as a minority (39 percent or less Lndian).

Schools were classified as public, private, federal, day, and

residential.

Sample

The stratified random sample was to comprise 50 percent of the

schools in each state drawn from the schools which qualified under the specific

criteria for the study. Actually 40 schools or 56.3 percent were drawn as the

sample of a total of 71 schools which qualified under the criteria for selection.

The target population, all Indian students in the 1962-63 grade 8

classes of the selected schools, were identified by name. Thereafter the pro-

gress of each student was traced through school to June, 1967 or dropout,

regardless of which school site was attended. The work of tracing the progress

of the students was carried out by field workers, usually employees of the

schools where the initial identification of the students was made. The data

was then checked by the project staff of the Portland office. School students

were guaranteed anonymity through the use of numerical coding as soon as the

basic data had been collected.

Statistical Data On Students

The term "dropout" is used in this study to designate a pupil who has

been in membership during the regular school term and who withdrew from

membership before graduating from secondary school or before completing an

equivalent program of studies. Such an individual is considered a dropout

whether the dropout occurs during or between regular school terms, whether

the dropout occurs before or after the compulsory school attendance age has

been reached, and if the minimum required amount of school work necessary

for graduation has not been completed except by reason of death.

Basic statistical data has been carried on each student as follows:

1. Area office

2. State

3. Tribal group

4. School for each grade attended

5. Percentage of school population who are Indian at grade 8 and 10

6. Type of school

7. Attendance

8. Grades at the close of each school year

9. Promotion/graduation

FINDINGS

A major objective of this study was to document the magnitude of

the problem of the American Lndian high school dropout. In the following

pages the data, by schools and states, is presented in a series of figures and

tables. No attempt was made to interpret the findings. For example, the

reader will observe that the dropout rate for Indian female students in each of

the six states, with the exception of North Dakota, is considerably higher than

it is for the Indian male students. For the general population the reverse is

true. Speculation as to why Indian females drop out of school at a higher rate

than males, whether it be for pregnancy or early marriage or greater

irrelevancy of education for the female or because lesser value is placed on

the formal education of females by the Indian population or for some other

reason, is left to the reader pending further research into the matter.

Comparison of dropout rates between schools or tribes was

purposefully omitted from the study. Such comparisons are invidious because

of the varying numbers of pupils in the schools and particularly because of

the wide differences in the educational objectives pursued by the schools as a

result of the composition of their student bodies.

Page 33: The magnitude of the dropout problem among …The magnitude of the dropout problem among Indians was illustrated by a study which followed students registered in grade 8 as of November

There are apparent differences, particularly in the tables of figures

on average annual grades and average annual attendance, between the total

number listed for the target population and the total number of pupils for

whom averages were computed. Where such discrepancies are noted, the

reason lies in that many schools did not keep records and thus the information

was unobtainable. These schools, espe2ial1y boarding schools, took for

granted that all their students were in one hundred percent attendance. Some

schools did not record a grade score when granting a social, rather than

earned, promotion to a student.

RACIAL BALANCE BY STATES (INDIAN COMPARED TONON-INDIAN STUDENT POPULATION) IN THE

SCHOOLS INCLUDED IN THE STUDY

In the following: "Majority" is where Indian students constitute 60

percent or more of the student population in a grade level; "Balance" is where

they are 40-59 percent of the student population; and "Minority" is where

Indian pupils comprise 39 percent or less of the student population. "Other"

refers to pupAls who are deceased, dropped out of school in that year, or for

whose school no record of racial balance was available. The number (N) of

Indian pupils enrolled in grade 8 is as of November, 1962, and the number of

Indian pupils enrolled in grade 10 is as of November of the year the students

attended grade 10.

Other: N = 115 39%

Where the Indian pupils were an eighth grade minority:

N = 20 6%

Then ii the tenth grade the Indian pupils were:

Majority: N = 0 0%

Balance: N = 0 0%

Minority: N = 15 75%Other: N = 5 25%

Thus, for all Indian pupils in the tenth grade (included in this Study)in South Dakota:

Majority: N = 168 53%Minority: N = 28 9%Other: N = 120 38%

CONCLUSION

This study has differed from other dropout studies in that the

students registered in the same grade on a specific date who constituted

the target population were each identified by name. The progress

through school of each student was then traced to high school graduation

or another specific date almost five years later unless death or dropout

from school occurred prior to that time. The data of the study have

been presented in a series of figures and tables without any attempt to

interpret findings. Thus the study, wbile documenting the magnitude of

the problem of the American Indian high school dropout, also has

demonstrated the feasibility of collecting hard data in this area.

The need to collect on an ongoing basis specific up-to-date data

on the progress of pupils, as well as on graduates and follow-:up of

graduates for at least a year after high school graduation, is of great

importance. Even where some attempts have been made by individual

schools or school systems to collect such data, efforts have been

hampered by a lack of uniformity in the methodology of collecting informa-

tion and in recording it. School personnel become very frustrated trying

to find out what happens to a transfer student when the receiving school

does not cooperate in acknowledging the transfer or in transferring

student records.

Page 167: The magnitude of the dropout problem among …The magnitude of the dropout problem among Indians was illustrated by a study which followed students registered in grade 8 as of November

144The initiative in setting up a data collection bank and regu-

larized system of transferring sWdent records needs to be taken by an

agency which could also serve as the coordinator of such efforts. The

State Departments of Education are almost ideally suited to undertaking

such a task. In addition to access to computer facilities, Departments

probably have the greatest contact with the many organizations engaged

in the educational enterprise.

The Bureau bf Indian Affairs, with its special interest in the

education of Indian youth, could explore the possibility of calling a

meeting of interested institutions. For example, the BIA area office in

Portland, Oregon, could invite representatives from Oregon, Washington

and Idaho State Departments of Education and representatives from public

and private schools as well as from its own organization to a sponsored

conference on these vital topics. Such a conference, or series of con-

ferences, in addition to opening wider the channels of communications

among the participating bodies, might well lead to a pooling and sharing

of information beyond that envisioned in this modest proposal.
