School Cohort Graduation Rates: 2013

Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
This dataset contains the 2013 four-year cohort graduation rates by school. The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) introduced the four-year cohort graduation rate with the graduating class of 2009. This approach was created when Connecticut and 49 other states signed an agreement with the National Governors Association to develop a uniform system for tracking students. The four-year cohort graduation rate is calculated by tracking an individual cohort, or group of students, from their initial entrance into Grade 9 through to graduation. The four-year cohort graduation rate represents the percentage of students who earn a standard high school diploma within four years. The calculation uses individual student-level data from the state's Public School Information System (PSIS) that school districts submitted and superintendents certified. Notes: Double plus symbol () denotes not applicable; Asterisk symbol (*) denotes fewer than six in a cohort is suppressed; Out-placed students are counted only in district graduation calculation; Row percentages may not add to 100 percent because of rounding; District graduation rates may not be the same as the average of the graduation rates of the number schools in that district because of out-placed students.
