New 4-year Cohort Graduation Rate Calculation Now Being Implemented
Effective with the 2009-10 school year, the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) will begin implementation of a new methodology to calculate the graduation rate for all public high schools, comprehensive Career and Technical Centers (CTCs) and charter schools that graduate students from 12th grade.
The transition to the new method of calculating the graduation rate is required by the U.S. Department of Education, and is a more precise way to measure the true graduation rate.
Preliminary 4-Year Cohort Graduation Rates
The following files contain the 2010 preliminary 4-Year Cohort Graduation Rates for all school districts and schools with a graduating class (including high schools, charter schools, and comprehensive Career and Technical Centers). In cases of an asterisk (*) the cohort size is less than 10 and therefore not publicly reported.
Information in these files is preliminary. The final 2010 4-Year Cohort Graduation Rates will be included on 2011 district and school report cards, but will not be used to determine Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) until 2012.
