| 1 Averaged freshman graduation rate (AFGR) is an estimate of the percentage of an entering freshman class graduating in 4 years. For 2004–05, it equals the total number of diploma recipients in 2004–05 divided by the average membership of the 8th-grade class in 2000–01, the 9th-grade class in 2001–02, and the 10th-grade class in 2002–03. | ||||||
| 2 First-time 9th-graders were estimated as the average of student membership in grades 8, 9, and 10 in 3 consecutive years. | ||||||
| 3 U.S. totals include the 50 states and the District of Columbia. | ||||||
| 4 New Hampshire included home schooled students in reported membership in 2000–01. This could inflate the denominator for the AFGR slightly. | ||||||
| 5 DoDDS and DDESS are the Department of Defense dependents schools (overseas) and the Department of Defense dependents schools (domestic), respectively. | ||||||
| NOTE: Ungraded students were allocated to individual grades proportional to each state's enrollment in those grades. | ||||||
