What were the student outcomes for District A?
Cohort Yr Graduates Non-Graduates Total Cohort Graduation Rate
2009 132 20 152 87 %
2010 129 22 151 85 %
2011 126 12 138 91 %
So what is in the Non-graduate category?
• Dropouts• 20 or more days absent
• Students who have contacted the school to drop out
• Still Enrolled – not done yet
• Transferred to GED or high school equivalency program
How could we decrease the number of non-graduates?• Keep track of the students as they move through High School and
identify early whether they are on track to meeting graduation requirements such as..• Course credits required for graduation
• Community service hours
• Have passed the “Big 5” Regents Examinations
Using this data educators can …
• Identify students who are struggling and match them with instructional programs that can help them.
• Connect them with a mentor to monitor and encourage students to complete the work.
• Identify students who have completed courses but have not passed their corresponding exams. These students may be candidates for credit recovery programs.
The Story of District A
• This district did target students who were at risk. After analyzing the trend of having an ever increasing number of students not graduating, they started a program with the 2011 cohort of students and put in place educator mentors and customized credit recovery programs. One reason why they were able to identify the issue was they had a data consultant to find the problem. Not all districts have this luxury.
District B –Look at these data and tell me what you see!
District B2012-2013Graduation Rate
• 21% Poverty
• 70% Grad Rate
• 30 Students
District B2013-2014Graduation Rate
• 17% Poverty
• 77% Grad Rate
• 43 Students
District B2014-2015Graduation Rate
• 22% Poverty
• 92% Grad Rate
• 26 Students
What can we conclude?

• There is a “huge” amount of data that goes into analyzing what makes a district or school effective or ineffective.
