Since 1967, the Utah State Office of Education has compiled and reported pertinent information concerning statewide student performance. This report, the sixth in the "How Good Are Utah Public Schools?" series, summarizes results from a variety of ongoing and special studies. Since 1975, statewide assessment programs have encompassed both academic and nonacademic performance measures for representative samples of nearly 8,000 fifth and eleventh graders every three years, in approximately 100 schools. The introduction to the study explains the development of quality indicators in the context of educational reform and Utah's educational goals. The next five sections compare Utah students' performance on the American College Testing Program (ACT), the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test, the Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills, and the Advanced Placement Program with national norms. Section VII discusses adult educational attainment for Utah, and Section VIII profiles courses taken by Utah senior high school students. Section IX discusses National Assessment of Educational Progress data, comparing Utah students' performance to national and international trends. Section X presents an overview of findings from each of the preceding sections. The summary and conclusions provide additional perspectives on performance trends and their implications. Discussion is supported throughout with numerous "exhibits." (MLH)
