15. Graduation Rates NCES Graduation Rate (used for 2011 AYP) Numerator Number of Grade 12 Graduates Includes SWD Waivers and Exemptions Denominator Number of Grade 12 Graduates plus Number of dropouts for graduating class over the past 4 years Not part of the calculation GED CHSPE Other non-graduating completers

16. 4-Year Graduation Rate 4-year Cohort Graduation Rate Districts first held accountable in 2012 AYP. Class of 2010 rate used to set graduation rate growth targets for 2012 AYP Currently available on Dataquest Rate is the number of graduates (2010) divided by then number in the 4-year Cohort (2006-2010) Definition of Graduate differs from NCES definition

17. 4-Year Graduation Rate Targets Same Growth target scheme as 2011 AYP Target is 90% Fixed growth target is 10% of the difference between 90% and the 2009 AYP Graduation Rate E.g. 2009 rate of 72%. Fixed rate is .1 * (90%-72%) = 1.8%. 2011 target is 72% +1.8% + 1.8% = 75.6% Variable growth target is the difference between 90% and the previous years actual rate divided by the number of years until 2019 E.g. 2010 AYP rate is 72%. Growth target is (90%-72%) / 9 = 2%. 2011 AYP target is 72% + 2% = 74% Target is the lowest of the above 3 options
