| NOTE: The abbreviation s.e. stands for standard error, which is a measure of sampling variability and measurement error for a statistic. Public high school graduates are defined as students who graduated from a public high school with an honors or standard diploma by the end of the 2018-19 school year. The table includes only graduates who completed at least three years of delineated courses on their transcripts, including courses taken in the 2018-19 school year, having at least 16 Carnegie units (a Carnegie unit is a credit hour, i.e., the equivalent of a course taken every school day, one period per day, for a full school year), with a positive, nonzero number of Carnegie units completed in English. See https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/ctes/xls/SSCT2018update2024.xlsx for the taxonomy used to define subject areas. Students may earn high school credits for CTE courses before starting ninth grade. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. CTE credits are credits in these 10 subject areas: agriculture and natural resources; business, finance, and marketing; communications and communication technologies; computer and information sciences; construction; consumer services; engineering, design, and production; health care; mechanical repair and operation; and public services. Data are weighted estimates and represent approximately 2,562,000 public high school graduates who met the study inclusion criteria previously described. |
