The High School and Beyond 2020 study (HS&B:20) will be the sixth in a series of longitudinal studies at the high
school level conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the Institute of Education
Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education. HS&B:20 will follow a nationally representative sample of
ninth grade students from the start of high school in the fall of 2020 to the spring of 2024 when most will be in
twelfth grade. A field test will be conducted one year prior to the full-scale study. The study sample will be
freshened in 2024 to create a nationally representative sample of twelfth-grader students. A high school transcript
collection and additional follow-up data collections beyond high school are also planned. The NCES secondary
longitudinal studies examine issues such as students’ readiness for high school; the risk factors associated with
dropping out of high school; high school completion; the transition into postsecondary education and access/choice
of institution; the shift from school to work; and the pipeline into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
(STEM). They inform education policy by tracking long-term trends and elucidating relationships among student,
family, and school characteristics and experiences. HS&B:20 will follow the Middle Grades Longitudinal Study of
2017/18 (MGLS:2017) which followed the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Kindergarten Class of 2010-11
(ECLS-K:2011), thereby allowing for the study of all transitions from elementary school through high school and into
higher education and/or the workforce. HS&B:20 will include surveys of students, parents, students’ math teachers,
counselors, and administrators, plus a student assessment in mathematics and reading and a brief hearing and
vision test. The HS&B:20 Base-Year Full-Scale study (BYFS) will begin in the fall of 2020. The request to conduct
the HS&B:20 Base-Year Field Test (BYFT) and the BYFS sampling and state, school district, school, and parent
recruitment activities, both scheduled to begin in the fall of 2019, was last approved in August 2019 with a change
request approved in August 2019 (OMB# 1850-0944 v.3-4). These activities include collecting student rosters and
selecting the BYFS sample. This request is to add a parent data collection email reminder to the study’s
communication materials (Appendix A). Approval for the base-year full scale study data collection will be requested
in a separate submission in early 2020.
