| 1 The 50 states and The District of Columbia are assigned to regions based on U.S. Census Bureau definitions. |
| 2 Averaged Freshman Graduation Rate (AFGR) is an estimate of the percentage of an entering freshman class graduating in 4 years. For 2005–06, it equals the total number of diploma recipients in 2005–06 divided by the average membership of the 8th-grade class in 2001–02, the 9th-grade class in 2002–03, and the 10th-grade class in 2003–04. |
| 3 AFGR excludes Pennsylvania and South Carolina which did not report graduates for school year 2005–06. |
| 4 Reporting states totals include any of the 50 states and the District of Columbia that reported data. |
| 5 Dropout rates and AFGRs are for local education agencies (LEAs) that have been assigned a locale code. |
| 6 CBSA stands for Core Based Statistical Area. |
| 7 Dropout rates and AFGRs are of LEAs for which district membership was reported. |
| NOTE: The universe for this table includes the 50 states and the District of Columbia only. |
