‡Reporting standards not met (too few cases).

1 The time when students are identified as having certain characteristics varies by state. Depending on the state, a student may be included in a category if the relevant characteristic is reported in 9th-grade data, if the characteristic is reported in 12th-grade data, or if it is reported at any point during the student’s high school years.

2 Represents either the value reported by the state for the "Asian/Pacific Islander" group or an aggregation of values reported by the state for separate "Asian," "Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander or Pacific Islander," and "Filipino" groups.

3 Students identified as children with disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

4 Students who met the definition of limited English proficient students as outlined in the EDFacts workbook. For more information, see http://www2.ed.gov/about/inits/ed/edfacts/eden-workbook.html.

5 Students who met the state criteria for classification as economically disadvantaged.

6 The 4-year ACGR for the United States was estimated using both state-reported 4-year ACGR data and imputed data for states for which data were unavailable. Does not include the Bureau of Indian Education and Puerto Rico.

7 Use data with caution. The Alabama State Department of Education has indicated that their ACGR data was misstated. For more information, please see the following press release issued by the state: https://www.alsde.edu/sec/comm/News%20Releases/12-08-2016%20Graduation%20Rate%20Review.pdf.

8 The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Elementary and Secondary Education approved a timeline extension for these states to begin reporting 4-year ACGR data, resulting in the 4-year ACGR not being available in one or more of the school years shown.

NOTE: The adjusted cohort graduation rate (ACGR) is the percentage of public high school freshmen who graduate with a regular diploma within 4 years of starting 9th grade. Students who are entering 9th grade for the first time form a cohort for the graduating class. This cohort is "adjusted" by adding any students who subsequently transfer into the cohort and subtracting any students who subsequently transfer out, emigrate to another country, or die. Values preceded by the “>=” symbol have been “blurred” to protect student privacy. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
