| — Data missing. |
| ? Not applicable. |
| 1 Includes regular and other diplomas as well as other completers but does not include high school equivalency. |
| 2 The completion rate is calculated by dividing the number of high school completers in a given year by the number of high school completers in that year and dropouts over a 4-year period. A state that reported completers but not dropouts would not have a high school completion rate. |
| 3 Total Other Completers is missing in the following states: Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. |
| NOTE: Percentages less than 0.05 are rounded to 0.0. |
