     Graduation Rate, Dropout Rate, and Enrollment Reports

    Graduation Rates are calculated and published annually for both four year and five year graduation rates.

    Cohort year refers to the cohort a student is assigned when they first enter an Arizona public high school. For example, if a student enters 9th grade in 2014, they would be in cohort 2018 and would be included for the "Cohort 2018 Four Year Grad Rate Data". However, if that same student needed a fifth year of high school in order to graduate, they would be included for the "Cohort 2018 Five Year Grad Rate Data". If you have questions or need additional guidance, please reach out to [email protected].

    Information for Technical Users: Graduation Technical Manual

    The calculation of dropout statistics is a cooperative effort of the local school districts, the Arizona Department of Education, the Arizona State Legislature, and the United States Department of Education. Presently, the emphasis on education reform mandates greater attention to performance measures, such as the dropout rate, which serves as a key indicator of a school’s success in maintaining their student population. Dropout rates are reported for grades seven through twelve, and are based on a calendar year that runs from the first day of summer recess through the last day of school. A school’s total enrollment is used as the population figure against which dropouts are subsequently counted. For purposes of this study, dropouts are defined as students who are enrolled in school at any time during the school year, but are not enrolled at the end of the school year and did not transfer, graduate, or die.

    These reports include the number of students enrolled on the October 1 reporting date. The enrollment counts are available at the following levels: Statewide, County, LEA (school district), and School. These enrollment counts are further broken down for the following demographics: Gender, Ethnicity, EL, Income Eligibility 1 & 2, and Students with Disabilities.

    Note: Due to missing data in some variables for student characteristics submitted by schools, the “Total” columns may not match precisely from one tab to another.
