Post-school Outcome Survey Results
FFY 2006
There were 47 districts sampled based on the stratified random sampling plan. From those 47
districts, Arkansas had 320 students that responded to the PSO survey request. Of the
respondents, 270 youth who had IEPs and are no longer in secondary school have been
competitively employed, enrolled in some type of postsecondary school or both, within one year
of leaving high school. This yielded an employment/postsecondary school rate of 84.38%.
The survey revealed that 75.63% of leavers have been employed at some point in the year since
exiting high school. However, only 39.38% have been enrolled in post secondary education.
Only 15.63% have not been employed or enrolled in post secondary education in the year since
leaving high school. Presented in Exhibit I-14.1 is a summary of survey results.

and submitted to the Office of Special Education Programs as required under Section 618,
contact information on students reported as graduates, dropouts, or reaching maximum age was
compiled for the districts being sampled in the given year.
Arkansas adopted the post-school outcome questions from the National Post-school Outcomes
Center. A copy of the survey is located in Appendix I. Demographic data, although on the
survey form, were not collected as part of the survey. Student responses were cross-referenced
