| NOTE: AFGR is an estimate of the percentage of an entering freshman class graduating in 4 years. For 2008–09, it equals the total number of diploma recipients in 2008–09 divided by the average membership of the 8th-grade class in 2004–05, the 9th-grade class in 2005–06, and the 10th-grade class in 2006–07. Rates are based on average rates across disticts within each locale type weighted by each district's enrollment base of first-time freshmen. |
