School Adequate Yearly Progress
-
The graph shows the school’s progress in meeting the annual goals for Graduation. The US Department of Education passed regulations requiring all states to calculate graduation using a 4-year adjusted cohort rate. In addition, states were given the option to use an extended-year rate; Kansas chose to calculate a 5-year rate. The 4-year adjusted cohort graduation rate reflects the percent of students who were first time 9th graders in 2007-2008 and who graduated four years later (by September 30, 2011) with adjustments during the four years for transfers in and out. The 5-year adjusted cohort graduation rate is the percent of students who were first time 9th graders in 2006-2007 that graduated five years later (by September 30, 2011). NOTE: In the 4-year adjusted cohort graduation rate, any student who does not graduate in the expected four years—even if they are still in school—is considered a non-graduate and counts against the graduation rate. This rule is extended to five years in the 5-year adjusted cohort graduation rate. The 4-year adjusted cohort graduation rate formula is as follows: The 5-year adjusted cohort graduation rate formula is as follows:
To make AYP for graduation, the school must either meet the graduation goal |
