Abstract	During the fall of the 1986-87 school year, Alaska high school seniors were asked their opinions of their overall high school experience, their need for additional assistance in selected academic and career planning areas, and general demographic information (sex, race, school size, household income, grades, and occupational choice), as well as what they planned to do after high school graduation. Of the 6,649 Alaska seniors, 2,971 (44.7%) responded to the survey. Comparisons were made between students planning for postsecondary education and those not planning for it. Questions were included to obtain information on disciplines targeted for statewide examination by the State Department of Education (science, natural resources, and social sciences). Among the findings are: (1) a doubling of the percentage (22.7%) of seniors rating their overall high school experience as "poor", compared to previous years; (2) differences in satisfaction among students in large schools compared to small schools; and (3) generally high overall satisfaction with decision-making abilities and experience in the target areas. Appended are the survey instrument and selected data tables. (LB)
