Characteristics of Student Survey Respondents in Grade 9 through Grade 12
Students responded to items regarding their sex, ethnicity, and grade level. Table 7.2 shows
these characteristics of students at open-enrollment charter campuses. Results show that of
those open-enrollment charter school students who responded to the survey, 52% were male
and 48% were female. When asked to describe their ethnicity, 52% classified themselves as
Hispanic, 23% as non-Hispanic white, 17% as African American, 2% as Asian or Pacific
Islander, 1% as American Indian or Alaskan Native, and 6% did not respond to the question.38
There was a fairly even distribution by grade level of open-enrollment charter school students
who responded to the survey: 25% Grade 9; 28% Grade 10; 27% Grade 11; 20% Grade 12, and
less than 1% failed to identify a grade level. Overall, the distribution of males and females and
the various ethnicities of charter school students reflected those reported in the prior evaluation
(TCER, 2008).

Previous School Experience
Open-enrollment charter school students responded to items regarding their previous school
enrollment, as well as whether or not they planned to attend their charter schools the following
38 Unlike administrator and teacher surveys, several survey items were not applicable to all students;
therefore, participants were given an option to select "not sure" or "not applicable" on the student survey.
Additionally, a larger percentage of student survey participants chose not to answer several survey items;
therefore, the percentage of students who did not respond is provided. Ultimately, a new results category,
"N," was created for purpose of discussing student survey results in a number of tables. Whenever "N" is
used for this purpose, it is specified in the notes for the table.95
