520 |a This investigation had as its objective to collect relevant information in a systematic fashion concerning the actual, implemented four-quarter program. The investigators sought to identify what was currently operational in cooperating metropolitan school systems and to assess the degree to which the operational four-quarter plan meets the objectives upon which the plan was formulated. Factual data were gathered in a series of interviews with central office personnel, and with the principals and counselors of numerous secondary schools. Related literature, including unpublished documents and working papers of the cooperating school systems, was reviewed; and a survey instrument was designed, tested, and implemented. Responses were received from the students and professional staffs of 31 high schools from four Metropolitan Atlanta school systems. Analysis of the results indicate a wide diversity between systems and among schools within the systems in their achievement levels relative to the objectives for the ideal four-quarter plan.
