Abstract: The High School and Beyond Longitudinal Study of 2022
(HS&B:22) is 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:22 is following a nationally
representative sample of ninth grade students from the start of high
school in the fall of 2022 to the spring of 2026 when most will be in
twelfth grade. The sample will be freshened in 2026 to create a
nationally representative sample of twelfth-grade students. A high
school transcript collection and additional follow-up data collections
beyond high school are also planned.
A field test was conducted in fall 2019 and the first follow-up
field test (F1FT) is planned for spring 2024 in preparation for the
spring 2026 first follow-up full-scale study (F1FS).This submission is
to request approval to conduct the HS&B:22 F1FT collection in the
spring of 2024. OMB provided approval for F1FT sampling, tracking, and
recruitment in March 2021 (OMB# 1850-0944 v.9).
Part A of this submission presents information on the basic design
of HS&B:22. Part B discusses the statistical methods employed. Part C
presents justification for the questionnaire content. Appendix A
provides the communication materials to be used during state, school
district, school, student, and parent F1FT recruitment and data
collection activities. Appendix B provides the first follow-up field
test data collection instruments.
