Freshman On-Track (FOT) A freshman On-Track is a measure of of how many freshman are on track to graduate by the end of the freshman year. It’s based on credit accumulation & course failures. They are deemed On-Track if they have earned 6 course credits and failed no more than one semester of a core course.

A student on track at the end of 9th grade is four times more likely to graduate than students off track.

Key Performance Indicators: Data to Consider Key Performance Indicators: Freshman On Track Rate Core Passing Rate 3.0+ GPA Attendance
