ANALYSIS OF MEMBERSHIP AT THE

CLOSE OF EACH MONTH OF SCHOOL

1960-61


Research Report 15
Division of Research













Thomas D. Bailey
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
Tallahassee, Florida


January, 1962





























Research Report 15 is a revision of Research
Report 9 prepared by the Division of Research
of Florida State Department of Education.

The preparation of these reports is one phase in
the implementation of Florida's plan for improv-
ing statistical services of the State Department
of Education under the provisions of Title X,
National Defense Education Act.








ANALYSIS OF MEMBERSHIP AT THE CLOSE


OF EACH MONTH OF SCHOOL 1960-61


The data included in this report are compiled from Item 18, "Membership at
Close of Each Month of School," Principal's Annual Report on Attendance,
Form At-12p, submitted to the State Department of Education for the 1960-61
school year.

This is the fourth year for which a complete tabulation has been made. A
partial analysis of 1956-57 data was prepared. It is still early to use
these data for conclusions as to the established pattern of growth in mem-
bership in Florida Public Schools. However, some patterns are beginning to
emerge that suggest tentative conclusions, especially trends in the last
four years for which complete analyses have been made.

Primarily this is a statistical study prepared in an effort to establish
trends of value for future planning. For this reason the traditional
breakdown by race is presented. Since schools in a number of counties
now operate on an integrated basis, this breakdown is not absolutely ac-
curate. For statistical purposes, pupils in schools with a predominantly
white enrollment are designated as "White" and pupils attending schools
with a predominantly non-white enrollment are designated as "Negro." The
number of pupils involved is not large enough to affect the trends to any
significant degree at this time.

Increase-Peak Month

White 20,988 17,664 12,295 11,333 10,177
Negro 5,572 6,362 5,271 4,188 4,026

Per Cent of Increase-

Month
White 3.78% 2.85% 1.84% 1.58% 1.33%
Negro 3.46 3.70 2.83. 2.10 1.90

The difference between peak month membership and membership at the close of
the first month appears to be in a declining trend. This is shown graphi-
cally in Figure A and Figure B. The significance of this trend is not clear.
It may be that more and more of the new residents are making their move into
Florida during the summer rather than after the school year is underway.
While this is true for the state as a whole, some counties still are experi-
encing a substantial increase during peak months as is shown in the accompany-
ing county-by-county tabulations.








1956-57 1957-58 1958-59 1959-60 1960-61
Peak Membership Month
White 6th 5th 6th 5th 5th
Negro 5th 5th 4th 4th 4th

Membership in predominantly white schools appears to build up slowly to a peak
during the fifth or sixth month. Membership in predominantly Negro schools
builds up more rapidly to a peak during the fourth month.

White 35 33 40o 1 h9
Negro 30 25 31 34 35

During 1960-61, for the first time, membership for both races was less at the
close of the school year than at the end of the first month of school. The
net loss in membership appears to be on the increase. No reason for this is
apparent -- it well may be that the causes will'vary from county to county.
It is a situation that merits study at the county level.


1956-57 1957-58 1958-59 1959-60 1960-61
Net loss during the
Last Month of School
White 7,278 7,274 7,161 7,h47 7,290
Negro 1,201 1,057 1,232 821 1,043
All Pupils 8,497 8,331 8,393 8,268 8,333

Florida schools have shown a net decrease in excess of eight thousand pupils in
each of the last five years during the last month of school. In tourist counties
this loss may be explained as winter residents withdrawing pupils to return to
other states. Decreasing winter farm activitylate in the school year may be
another explanation. The significant factor seems to be that the net loss is
stabilized just above the eight thousand mark regardless of the substantial
increase in the total number of pupils enrolled.

All Pupils 63,720 58,801 64,255 61,141

For the past two years the increase over the summer months (between the end
of one year and the end of the first month of the succeeding year) has been
larger than the increase in average daily membership for the full year. The
pattern that has been developing appears to be a substantial increase at
the beginning of a school year over the final membership of the proceeding
year, followed by an increase to the peak month and then a drop-off toward
the end of the year to a membership under that at the beginning of the year.

This is not a study of drop-outs since it is concerned with net membership,
with new students off-setting drop-outs. However, any county showing a
substantial loss in students during the year may profitably devote some
time to an investigation of the causes of such decreases.

Table 1 gives, for a five year period, a comparison of the change in
membership at the close of each month of school from the membership at the
close of the first month.

Table 2 gives, for a five year period, the membership at the close of each
month of school expressed as a ratio or per cent of the membership at the
close of the first month of school.

Figures A and B express the data in Table 1 and Table 2 in graphic form.

Tables 3 and 5 show the change in membership at the end of each month from
the membership at the end of the first month, by race.

Tables 4 and 6 show the percentage change in membership at the end of each
month from the membership at the end of the first month, by race.

Table 7 gives, by race and by county, number and per cent of change in
membership from the close of 1959-60 to the end of the first month of
1960-61. This same table gives changes in average daily membership for
purposes of comparison.

The pattern of monthly membership appears to be similar for each of the
last three years, although there seems to be a "flattening out" of the
peak enrollment period. Florida schools closed the year with fewer pupils
than were in membership at the end of the first month.
