Dropouts and Completers


Dropout Data

Dropout numbers and rates are reported by districts operating high schools and for the two public academies.

Beginning in 2000-2001, the dropout counts and rates are not comparable with counts and rates published for past years. The definition of a dropout has changed significantly and the formula for calculating the rate is different.

Beginning with 2007-2008, the Department will use new terminology and a new report format. Previously, all students who left school without some type of diploma/certificate were labeled "dropouts." The new name for this group is "Early Exit Non-Graduates." Early Exiters can be divided into subcategories (currently 3). The subcategory "dropouts" are early exiters who, as of the report date, have not completed a GED or enrolled in college.

High School Completers: Where Do They Go?

Postsecondary intentions of high school completers are reported each fall by guidance counselors using the best available information. High school "completers" include students that were issued a standard diploma, as well as those who received a certificate of attendance or a non-standard diploma.
