Graduation Rates

May 2011 DPI Press Release Wisconsin’s four-year cohort graduation rate for 2009-10 is 85.7 percent. The 4.2 point difference between the four-year and legacy rates is attributed to the differences in each formula.

Legacy Rate While both rates count the number of students who graduate with a regular diploma, the legacy rate provides a snapshot of high school graduation and completion in a given year.

4-Year Rate The four-year adjusted cohort rate places students in a permanent cohort when they enroll in a public high school and counts how many graduate in four years.
