2 Four-Year and s Summary Riverside County Office of Education This year the CDE calculates two graduation rates, Aggregate Used for NCLB Reporting and Four-Year. Aggregate Used for NCLB Reporting. The CDE calculates a aggregate graduation rate for each district and school using the same methodology as in previous years. This rate will be used for accountability purposes for this year and will be compared to the aggregate graduation rate to determine if the district or school has met its graduation rate target this year. After this year, the aggregate graduation rate will no longer be calculated or used for accountability purposes. Four-Year. As required by federal regulations, the CDE also calculates a four-year cohort graduation rate for each district and school using certified student-level exit data for each of the past four years. Then, beginning next year, the four-year cohort graduation rate will serve as the new baseline for comparison with the four-year cohort graduation rate to determine if the district or school has met its graduation rate target. Going forward, four-year cohort graduation rates will be calculated and used for accountability purposes. Four-Year Calculation for Adjusted The 4-year Adjusted forms the basis for calculating graduation rates, dropout rates, and other related rates. The cohort is the group of students that could potentially graduate during a 4-year time period (grade 9 through grade 12). The 4-year Adjusted includes students who enter 9 th grade for the first time in the initial year of the 4-years used for the cohort. This cohort is then adjusted by: Adding students who later transfer into the cohort during grade nine (year 1), grade 10 (year 2), grade 11 (year 3), and grade 12 (year 4); and Subtracting students who transfer out, immigrate to another county, or die during the 4-year period. who drop out during the four year period remain in the cohort, as well as students that complete 12 th grade and exit the educational system without graduating. that take longer than four years to graduate or remain enrolled after four years are also included as part of the cohort. are removed from the cohort when the last exit for that student includes any of the following student school exit categories: Died; Transfer to a private school; Transfer to a school outside of California; Transfer out of the U.S; i

3 Transfer to an adult education program; Transfer to college; Transfer to a health facility; Transfer to an institution with a high school diploma program; Transfer to home school program and No show (first time pre-register and did not show) year Adjusted - The four-year graduation rate is calculated by dividing the number of students in the 4-year adjusted cohort who graduate in four years or less with either a traditional high school diploma, an adult education high school diploma, or have passed the California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE) by the number of students who form the adjusted cohort for that graduating class. The following formula provides an example of the four-year graduation rate for the cohort entering grade 9 for the first time in the fall of the school year and graduating by the end of the school year. Number of cohort members who earned a regular high school diploma by the end of the school year divided by Number of first-time grade 9 students in Fall 2006 (starting cohort) plus students who transfer in, minus students who transfer out, emigrate, or die during school years , , , and The following student school exit categories and student school completion status were used to identify high school graduates: Graduated, standard high school diploma; Graduated, CAHSEE mods & waiver for special education; Graduated, CAHSEE special education exempt; Adult education high school diploma; and Passed California High School Proficiency Exam year Adjusted - This is the rate of students that leave the 9-12 instructional system without a high school diploma, GED, or special education certificate of completion and do not remain enrolled after the end of the 4 th year. The formula is similar to the formula listed in item 2, but the numerator is replaced with the number of students in the 4-year cohort that dropped out by the end of the school year year Adjusted General Education Development (GED) Passer This is the rate of students that leave the 9-12 instructional system without a high school diploma, but have passed the GED test. The formula is ii

4 similar to the formula listed in item 2, but the numerator is replaced with the number of students in the 4-year cohort that passed the GED test by the end of the school year. The following student school exit category and student school completion status were used to identify a GED passer: Completed GED (and no standard HS diploma) year Adjusted ucation Certificate of Completion - This is the rate of special education students that leave the 9-12 instructional system without a high school diploma, but have completed requirements necessary to obtain a special education certificate of completion. The formula is similar to the formula listed in item 2, but the numerator is replaced with the number of students in the cohort that received his/her special education certificate of completion by the end of the school year. The following student school exit category and student school completion status were used to identify a special education student that received a special education certificate of completion: ucation certificate of completion year Adjusted Still This is the rate of students that remain enrolled in the 9-12 instructional system without a high school diploma after the end of the 4 th year of high school. The formula is similar to the formula listed in item 2, but the numerator is replaced with the number of students that were enrolled after the end of the 4 th year. The four-year cohort graduation rate calculated this year is representing a new baseline and is not comparable to past graduation rates. This Riverside County Four-Year and s s Report is comprised of the new four-year cohort graduation rate and dropout rate data only.
