Graduation Rate	56.2%	67.9%	2005

Show Graduation Rate data definitions

Graduation Rate

The graduation rate is a cumulative or longitudinal rate which calculates the number of students who actually graduate as a percent of those who were in membership and could have graduated over a four-year period (i.e., from Grades 9-12). The rate is calculated by dividing the number of graduates by the membership base. The membership base is derived from end-of-year count of eighth graders four years earlier, and adjusted for the number of students who have transferred into or out of the district during the years covering grades 9 through 12. (Source: Colorado Dept. of Education.)

Dropout Rate

The Colorado dropout rate is an annual rate, reflecting the percentage of all students enrolled in grades 7-12 who leave school during a single school year. It is calculated by dividing the number of dropouts by a membership base which includes all students who were in membership any time during the year. In accordance with a 1993 legislative mandate, beginning with the 1993-94 school year, the dropout rate calculation excludes expelled students. (Source: Colorado Dept. of Education.)
