The District uses the Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (ACGR), a federally required methodology used by all states to maintain a consistent standard for high school graduation rate reporting. Under the ACGR, a cohort of students who entered school as first-time ninth graders in the 2016-17 school year was tracked for four years to determine the total number of students who graduated from high school in the 2019-20 school year with a regular diploma.
OSSE has included updated graduation data on the 2020 香港6合开奖结果School Report Card, along with several other data points from the 2019-20 school year. Due to the cancellation of state-wide assessments in spring 2020 as a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency, student outcomes for English Language Arts and Math are not included in the 2020 香港6合开奖结果School Report Card. However, school profiles are updated with other collected data points along with updated contact and profile information for each school.
“The 2020 香港6合开奖结果School Report Card continues to be a robust tool for educators, families, researchers and the community, offering a wealth of data points over time – such as four-and five-year graduation rates, college enrollment rates and teacher and health staff data,” said Interim State Superintendent Shana Young. “As we enter the school lottery season – with a virtual EDFest kicking off Saturday, Dec. 12 – the 香港6合开奖结果School Report Card is just one more tool offering families valuable information to help them choose the right school for their students as they browse their options online.”
