• Number of Grade 12 Graduates– Includes SWD Waivers and Exemptions

– Denominator• Number of Grade 12 Graduatesplus• Number of dropouts for graduating class over the past 4 years

– Not part of the calculation• GED• CHSPE• Other non-graduating completers

16

4-Year Graduation Rate

• 4-year Cohort Graduation Rate– Districts first held accountable in 2012 AYP.– Class of 2010 rate used to set graduation rate

growth targets for 2012 AYP• Currently available on Dataquest

– Rate is the number of graduates (2010) divided by then number in the 4-year Cohort (2006-2010)• Definition of Graduate differs from NCES definition

17

4-Year Graduation Rate TargetsSame Growth target scheme as 2011 AYP

– Target is 90%– Fixed growth target is 10% of the difference between 90% and

the 2009 AYP Graduation Rate• E.g. 2009 rate of 72%. Fixed rate is .1 * (90%-72%) = 1.8%.

2011 target is 72% +1.8% + 1.8% = 75.6%– Variable growth target is the difference between 90% and the

previous years actual rate divided by the number of years until 2019• E.g. 2010 AYP rate is 72%. Growth target is (90%-72%) / 9

= 2%. 2011 AYP target is 72% + 2% = 74%– Target is the lowest of the above 3 options
