² Free or reduced-price lunch (FRPL) categories are used to indicate poverty level at the school. High-poverty schools are defined as public schools where more than 75.0 percent of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (FRPL); mid-high poverty schools are those where 50.1 to 75.0 percent of the students are eligible for FRPL; mid-low poverty schools are those where 25.1 to 50.0 percent of the students are eligible for FRPL; and low-poverty schools are those where 25.0 percent or less of the students are eligible for FRPL. For more information on eligibility for FRPL and its relationship to poverty, see the NCES blog post "Free or reduced price lunch: A proxy for poverty?" (https://nces.ed.gov/blogs/nces/post/free-or-reduced-price-lunch-a-proxy-for-poverty)
NOTE: Credit recovery program is defined as a "program targeted at standards in which students were deficient." Programs may be offered by computer software, online instruction (such as a virtual school), or teacher-guided instruction. School administrators participating in the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS:09) were asked about availability of these programs at their school, as well as whether the programs were offered onsite at the school, online, or a combination of both. See the HSLS:09 Questionnaires webpage for more information: https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/hsls09/pdf/2012_administrator.pdf. W2STUDENT weight was used. Transfer students and students who became homeschooled after 2009 are excluded from this analysis.
