Four-Year Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate
The four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate is the percentage of students in a cohort, adjusted for transfers into and out of the school, district, or state, who graduate with a regular high school diploma within four years of entering high school.
Any student who does not graduate with a regular high school diploma within four years will appear in the cohort as a non-graduate and will negatively impact the rate. A regular high school diploma means the standard high school diploma awarded to students that is fully aligned with the state’s academic content standards. It does not include GED diplomas, certificates of attendance, or any diplomas issued by non-state accredited private schools and homeschools. For this reason, it is important to remember that a non-graduate is not the same as a dropout.
