A five-year analysis of selected outcomes of cohorts of students enrolled in all regular public high schools in Texas in grades 10-12 was conducted, comparing three sub-groups of students based on participation in career and technology (CT) programs, including tech prep. One group was identified as tech prep participants while the other two groups were CT program participants (non-tech prep) and general population students. In all, over 3.4 million student records were studied, including the five multi-grade cohorts of tech prep students totaling 247,778. Results show 10th-12th grade cohorts of tech prep participants had slightly higher annual attendance rates and lower annual dropout rates than either of the non-tech prep groups. Moreover, tech prep students in their senior year had slightly higher graduation rates than the comparison groups, with an increasing percentage successfully completing college preparatory programs between 1994-95 and 1998-99. Certain ethnic, at-risk, and economically disadvantaged sub-populations demonstrated similar results.
