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 is calculated
by dividing the number of high school completers in a given year
by the number of high school completers in that year and dropouts
over a four year period. A state that reported completers but not
dropouts would not have a 4-year high school completion rate. See
the Technical Notes for a definition of district locale codes. |
