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

2 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.

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

4 States have the option of reporting data either for a combined "Asian/Pacific Islander" group or for the "Asian" and "Pacific Islander" groups separately. This table aggregates the "Asian/Pacific Islander" data and the separate "Asian" and "Pacific Islander" data to compute the "Asian/Pacific Islander" adjusted cohort graduation rate.

5 National totals are based on data reported at the state level.

6 Includes estimated data for Alabama because Alabama did not report state-level data for this subgroup.

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. ACGRs by locale are calculated from data reported at the school level. ACGRs by locale exclude Wyoming because reliable school-level data were not available for the state. 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. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity.
