1 year of the 4-year completion rate denominator are imputed. See
the Technical Notes for more details. |
| NOTE: High school completers includes regular and
other diplomas as well as other completers, but does not include
high school equivalencies (e.g., GED). The completion rate by race/ethnicity
is calculated by dividing the number of high school completers by
the number of high school completers and dropouts over a 4-year
period in a specific racial group. A state that reported completers
but not by race/ethnicity would not have a high school completion
rate by race/ethnicity. Other completer data are missing in the
following states: Wisconsin and Wyoming. Caution should be used
when interpreting results by race/ethnicity as some of the racial/ethnic
group populations are quite small in some states. To see the percentage
of individuals in each racial/ethnic group in the state, see appendix
table A-2. American Samoa and Puerto Rico reported all of their
students in one category of race/ethnicity. |
