16. 16 4-Year Graduation Rate 4-year Cohort Graduation Rate – Districts first held accountable in 2012 AYP. – Class of 2010 rate used to set graduation rate growth targets for 2012 AYP Currently available on Dataquest – Rate is the number of graduates (2010) divided by then number in the 4-year Cohort (2006-2010) Definition of Graduate differs from NCES definition

17. 17 4-Year Graduation Rate Targets Same Growth target scheme as 2011 AYP – Target is 90% – Fixed growth target is 10% of the difference between 90% and the 2009 AYP Graduation Rate E.g. 2009 rate of 72%. Fixed rate is.1 * (90%-72%) = 1.8%. 2011 target is 72% +1.8% + 1.8% = 75.6% – Variable growth target is the difference between 90% and the previous years actual rate divided by the number of years until 2019 E.g. 2010 AYP rate is 72%. Growth target is (90%-72%) / 9 = 2%. 2011 AYP target is 72% + 2% = 74% – Target is the lowest of the above 3 options
