This dissertation study attempts to answer questions about the way in which the twelfth-grade year of high school is changing, particularly in relation to the proliferation of student curricular choices that is underway in many public high schools. Case study methodology was utilized, using a case (a public high school in Southwest Ohio) that one might consider as typical based on its size and student/family demographics and characteristics. Within the school district and high school that was chosen as the case for this project, interviews and focus groups were conducted with staff members, board of education members, students, and parents. Additionally, records and documents that pertained to this study were analyzed and ethnographic observation was recorded. The major finding of this study is that the twelfth-grade students under study in this case-as a result of changing national, state, and local policies-are increasingly selecting curricular/programming options that occur outside of the high school, in effect outsourcing large portions of their twelfth-grade experiences. The out-of-school options students selected include college courses through Ohio's College Credit Plus Program (dual enrollment), online courses offered through the local high school, career technical options, and the option to take fewer classes through a policy or a practice that is known as flex. It was also noted that some students reported or intended to graduate early upon finishing coursework, a possibility that has been made less difficult with online learning options within the district. The reality is that when students reach their final year of high school, or before, students are largely expected to engage in curricular options that take place outside of the high school, away from their peers. The outsourced options available shift the purpose of the public high school away from one of its longstanding objectives: preparing students for citizenship and life in a democratic society. This study finds that in one case, educational policies are leading students away from the public space of the public high school and tracking them in specific college and career tracks, changing the twelfth-grade year, and the rest of the high school experience.
