Explaining Variability in High School Students’ Access to and Enrollment in Career Academies and Career Theme Clusters in Florida: Multi-Level Analyses of Student and School Factors
Career academies have been effective in reducing the high school dropout rates and increasing academic course taking and course credit accumulation among students (Kemple & Willner, 2008; Kemple & Snipes, 2000). However, not all students have access to career academy programs
as they are not universally implemented across the state of Florida (Estacion, D'Souza and Bozick, 2011). This study examines whether career academies are geographically clustered and what types of students have access to and what types of schools offer career academies and the career theme-clusters.
With data from Florida's PK-20 Education Data Warehouse, Geographical Information System mapping was used to depict the distribution of career academy students in public schools across Florida and multilevel models to explain how student and school characteristics correlate with career academy
and particular career-theme cluster enrollment.
