Definition

This indicator represents the percentage of students in a cohort, adjusted for transfers in and out of school, district, or state, that graduate with a regular high school diploma within four years of the first enrollment in ninth grade. The denominator for the percentage is the cohort for that graduating class in respective geographic areas.

A cohort includes the number of first-time 9th graders in the fall of a particular school year plus students who transfer in, minus students who transfer out during the next four school years.

Notes

NA - Data is suppressed if the number of students in the cohort (denominator) is less than 25 (Prior to 2023/24 suppression was N<10). Additional suppression is applied if the percentage approached zero or 100 using ranges or if it could be calculated from another reported value.

GEOGRAPHY - Data reflect the school location, not the student's place of residence.

NOTE - Data shown in table only includes public schools in North Dakota.
