In October 2008, the U.S. Department of Education (USDOE) issued new directives for graduation rates. These new regulations require each state to calculate a four-year adjusted cohort rate, which follows students for four years after entering the ninth-grade for the first time. The USDOE adopted this calculation method in an effort to streamline graduation rate calculations and establish uniform, accurate, and comparable rates across all states.
Use the menu above to view the Graduation Rate Analysis Tools which have been designed to support high schools to analyze their graduation rate data and develop strategies for positive change. All data is based on the Federal Graduation Rate provided by the FDOE. This series of applications allows dynamic sorting by clicking at the top of each column, and builds a graph of the data displayed below each data table. All applications are best served with the Google Chrome browser.
