  4. The 4-Year, Adjusted Cohort Rate • Beginning in 2011, New Jersey calculated subgroup, school, district, and state graduation rates using the federally-mandated “adjusted cohort” calculation, based on student-level data submitted by districts over the past four years in NJSMART. • The “adjusted cohort” formula divides the number of 4-year graduates (i.e., those students receiving a diploma) by the number of first-time ninth graders who entered the cohort four years earlier. • In equation form, the rate calculates: New Jersey Department of Education 4-Year Cohort Graduates in Year 2011 [First-Time 9th Graders in Fall 2007] + [Transfers In] – [Verified Transfers Out] – [Excluded From Cohort]

  5. The 5-Year, Adjusted Cohort Rate • The “5-year adjusted cohort” formula divides the number of 5-year graduates (i.e., those students receiving a diploma) by the number of first-time ninth graders who entered the cohort five years earlier. • In equation form, the rate calculates: 5-Year Cohort Graduates in Year 2012 [First-Time 9th Graders in Fall 2007] + [Transfers In] – [Verified Transfers Out] – [Excluded From Cohort] New Jersey Department of Education

  6. Understanding “Adjusted” New Jersey Department of Education

  7. 2011 Results, ‘sister’ states New Jersey Department of Education Important notes: While the methodology is the same across the country, each state is able to define its own criteria for what is a ‘graduate’ in terms of exit exams, course taking and passing requirements, and the use of alternative pathways to demonstrating mastery of state standards. USDOE released this data provisionally in November 2012.
