An exit date also must be entered. All codes are required unless indicated as optional. For purposes of the Special Education Exit Report, all students ages 14+ who exited special education from July 1 through June 30 must be reported as one of the following: 35, 40, 50, 70, 75, 80 or 90. The exit report is an unduplicated report.
Where can I find thegraduation cohort data for schools in my district? The graduation cohort data are available in the WVEIS NCLB Private Data. The cohort links are available in the upper right hand quadrant on both the principal and county Private Data Sites.
Private School and District Data • Why? • How might the data be useful? • How might special education be involved?
SPECIFIC County Links
High School Principal Link
High School County Select cohort of interest. Cohorts are labeled here by the data year not by the year used to determine AYP. For example, the 2011 cohort is based upon data from students who entered ninth grade for the first time in school year 2007-2008 and were projected to graduate four years later during school year 2010-2011.
As illustrated in the sample on next slide, principals have access to the cohort list by student name, WVEIS number and other demographic variables. Enrollment and registration codes will be available in addition to a column delineating on time graduation status. Five-year graduates and students receiving modified diplomas will be flagged for administrator convenience.
