Indicators of CTE Student Performance
Please refer to the link below to access the data for Alpena High School CTE Students.
CEPD 9 CTE Student Performance
Follow up surveys are completed each year between October and January. Survey information is collected by a variety of methods. Students that are surveyed are considered completers in their Career & Technical programs.
Academic data is collected from Career & Technical Education students who were concentrators, graduated last school year, and were tested when they were in 11th grade. Concentrators, in general, are students that completed more than half of their CTE program. Each program has a definition of a program concentrator.
