1 Averaged Freshman Graduation Rate (AFGR) is an estimate of the percentage of an entering freshman class graduating in 4 years. For 2006–07, it equals the total number of diploma recipients in 2006–07 divided by the average membership of the 8th-grade class in 2002–03, the 9th-grade class in 2003–04, and the 10th-grade class in 2004–05. | ||||||
2 Reporting states totals include any of the 50 states and the District of Columbia that reported data. | ||||||
3 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. | ||||||
