Graduation Rate

  • MDE 4-YEAR GRADUATION RATE
    The MDE 4-Year Graduation Rate is defined and used by the state for accountability purposes. This formula counts the number of students graduating from high school within four years after entering grade nine, as a percent of all students who graduated, dropped out, are continuing high school, or have an unknown outcome. Students who transferred into the district are included in this calculation; those who transferred out are not.

    Beginning in 2013 (and recalculated for prior years), school classifications 70 through 79 (the care/treatment/correctional facilities) are not included in the district rates.

    * Due to the nature of graduation rate data, results are always one year behind.

    SPPS FOUR-YEAR COMPLETION RATE
    The SPPS Four-Year Completion Rate is calculated by following a cohort of students who started 9th grade in an SPPS school. Four years later, this cohort is divided into three groups: those who graduated in four years, those who are continuing their high school education in SPPS, and those who dropped out and did not reenroll in SPPS by the following fall. Students who transferred into or out of the district are not included in this calculation.
