4 The 4-Year, Adjusted Cohort Rate
Beginning in 2011, New Jersey calculated subgroup, school, district, and state graduation rates using the federally-mandated “adjusted cohort” calculation, based on student-level data submitted by districts over the past four years in NJSMART. The “adjusted cohort” formula divides the number of 4-year graduates (i.e., those students receiving a diploma) by the number of first-time ninth graders who entered the cohort four years earlier. In equation form, the rate calculates: Performance Division New Jersey Department of Education 4-Year Cohort Graduates in Year 2011 [First-Time 9th Graders in Fall 2007] + [Transfers In] – [Verified Transfers Out] – [Excluded From Cohort]

5 The 5-Year, Adjusted Cohort Rate
The “5-year adjusted cohort” formula divides the number of 5-year graduates (i.e., those students receiving a diploma) by the number of first-time ninth graders who entered the cohort five years earlier. In equation form, the rate calculates: Performance Division 5-Year Cohort Graduates in Year 2012 [First-Time 9th Graders in Fall 2007] + [Transfers In] – [Verified Transfers Out] – [Excluded From Cohort] New Jersey Department of Education

7 2011 Results, ‘sister’ states
Special Education Limited English Proficient Economically Disadvantaged New Jersey 83% (12th) 73% (4th) 68% (11th) 71% (19th) Maryland 83% 57% 54% 74% Massachusetts 66% 56% 70% Connecticut 61% 59% 62% Pennsylvania 71% 63% New York 77% 48% 46% 69% Delaware 78% 65% Performance Division New Jersey Department of Education Important notes: While the methodology is the same across the country, each state is able to define its own criteria for what is a ‘graduate’ in terms of exit exams, course taking and passing requirements, and the use of alternative pathways to demonstrating mastery of state standards. USDOE released this data provisionally in November 2012.
