Drop-out Rate Calculation
Data to determine the drop-out rate for students in general education are collected by dividing the total number of students, grades 9 through 12 that dropped-out during the school year by the total number of students grades 9 through 12 enrolled for the school year. Data are collected annually through the Report of Children with Disabilities Exiting Special Education to determine the drop-out rate of students with disabilities. On the exiting table, the number of students with disabilities that dropped-out for a given year is collected for students ages 14-21. This number is then divided by the total enrollment of students with disabilities ages 14-21 for that year in order to determine what percentage of the total number of students with disabilities are students with disabilities that dropped-out. In the dropout rate calculation dropouts include "dropouts" as well as "moved not known to be continuing"
