Cohort Graduation Rate

Overview

The Four-Year Cohort Graduation rate is the percentage of students in a cohort, adjusted for transfers into and out of the school, district, or state, that earn a standard diploma within four years of entering high school. A standard diploma refers only to the following:

  • Oregon Diploma (Regular High School Diploma Awarded)
  • Oregon Diploma (Regular High School Diploma Awarded, continuing to Post-Graduate Scholars)
  • Oregon Diploma (Regular High School Diploma Earned, but not Awarded)
  • Modified Diploma

In general, students are accountable to the last degree-granting district and school that enrolled them, or to the district and school that awarded their diploma, although there are exceptions.

See the Cohort Graduation Rate Policy and Technical Manual for complete details, including information on how students are assigned a cohort year, final outcome determinations, student group membership, accountable district and school determinations; and the data sources used.
