Data: High school graduation, dropout rates for 2010

The Virginian-Pilot
© October 1, 2010

The Virginia Department of Education publishes annual reports that detail outcomes for students who entered the ninth grade for the first time together ("cohorts") and were scheduled to graduate four years later ("on time"). Percentages account for students who transfer, are held back or are promoted.

Notes on the data from The Virginia Department of Education:
- < indicates a group below the state definition for personally identifiable results.
- Only student subgroups represented in the school are listed.
- Long-Term Absence represents students who were on long-term medical leave, emergency family leave, and students who were expelled for one year. These students have not earned a credential and were not enrolled at the time of this report.
- Students with disabilities and students who are limited English proficient who were still enrolled in school were moved into next year's cohort, consistent with the formula approved by the Virginia Board of Education.
- Most subgroups are based on students' most recent status.
- "Anytime" subgroups include all students identified as part of the subgroup at least once since entering high school.

This is great stuff! I'm surprised the schools take and share this data. I'm curious why the categories collected are not consistent from school to school. I wonder if this data is a requirement for Federal or state funding. In any event, Great Job Pilot Staff!
