---Not available.

†Not applicable.

‡Reporting standards not met.

1The 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.

2Students identified as children with disabilities under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

3Students who met the definition of English learner as outlined in the EDFacts workbook. For more information, see https://www2.ed.gov/about/inits/ed/edfacts/eden-workbook.html.

4Students who met the state criteria for classification as economically disadvantaged.

5States either report data for a combined "Asian/Pacific Islander" group or report the "Asian" and "Pacific Islander" groups separately. Total represents either a single value reported by the state for "Asian/Pacific Islander" or an aggregation of separate values reported for "Asian" and "Pacific Islander." "Asian/Pacific Islander" includes the "Filipino" group, which only California and Hawaii report separately.

6Includes imputed data for Idaho, Kentucky, and Oklahoma. Data were not available for these states because they had not yet started reporting ACGR data in 2010-11 and 2011-12.

7Includes imputed data for Idaho. Data were not available for Idaho because this state had not yet started reporting ACGR data in 2012-13.

8Includes imputed data for Illinois and Texas.

9Estimated assuming a count of zero American Indian/Alaska Native students for Hawaii.

10Use data with caution. The Alabama State Department of Education has indicated that their ACGR data for some years was misstated. For more information, please see https://www.oversight.gov/report/ed/calculating-and-reporting-graduation-rates-alabama.

NOTE: The adjusted cohort graduation rate (ACGR) is the percentage of public high school freshmen who graduate with a regular diploma or a state-defined alternate high school diploma for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities 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. Before 2017-18, the definition of ACGR included regular high school diplomas only. Values preceded by the ">=" or "<" symbol have been "blurred" (rounded) to protect student privacy. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. In 2019-20, some states may have changed their requirements for a regular high school diploma to account for the impact of the coronavirus pandemic. These changes are at the discretion of each state but may have resulted in less comparability in the ACGRs between 2019-20 and prior school years.
