NCLB CUMULATIVE GRADUATION RATE

The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Cumulative Graduation Rate is defined and used by the state for NCLB purposes.  This formula counts the total number of  students graduating divided by the total number of graduates and dropouts (i.e., students who were not found as re-enrolled in any other school in the state by the following fall) multiplied by 100.  Students who transferred into the district are included in this calculation.

* Due to the nature of graduation rate data, results are always one year behind.



SPPS FOUR-YEAR COMPLETION RATE

The SPPS Four-Year Completion Rate is calculated by following a cohort of students who started 9th grade in an SPPS school.  Four years later, this cohort is divided into three groups: those who graduated  in four years, those who are continuing their high school education in SPPS, and those who dropped out and did not reenroll in SPPS by the following fall.  Students who transferred into or out of the district are not included in this calculation.
