on an October through September cycle. However, these districts
were in states that reported on an alternative July through June
cycle.
NOTE: Ungraded membership is prorated in the calculation of the
dropout rate. Membership is taken from the 1998-1999 file. In calculating
the aggregate 7-12 dropout rate, any districts that did not report
dropouts for all grades 7 through 12 were marked as not available.
