| 1 Averaged Freshman Graduation
Rate (AFGR) is an estimate of the percentage of an entering freshman class graduating in 4 years. For
2006-07, it equals the total number of diploma recipients in 2006-07 divided by the average membership of the 8th-grade class in 2002-03, the 9th-grade class in 2003-04, and the 10th-grade class in 2004-05. |
| 2 Reporting states totals include any of the 50 states and the District of Columbia that reported data. |
| 3 DoDDS and DDESS are the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas) and the Department of Defense dependents schools (domestic), respectively. |
| NOTE: Ungraded students were allocated to individual grades proportional to each state's enrollment in those grades. |
