One-Year Dropout Rate

Where This Data Comes From

Student Enrollment Records

Student enrollment records at the end of each school year.

Enrollment

Students are included if there is no evidence of graduation or continued enrollment elsewhere.

Why This Matters

Dropping out reduces future opportunities for college, careers, and long-term success. High dropout rates are a sign that more supports are needed to keep students connected to school and on the path to graduation.

What It Can & Cannot Tell You

It Can Tell You:

  • Can highlight when schools need more resources and interventions* to help students stay engaged.
  • Can point to dropout patterns across groups of students.

Interventions are specific plans or extra help given to students who need more support with their learning or behavior to help them succeed and stay on track.

It Cannot Tell You:

  • Cannot explain why students leave — common reasons include health, work responsibilities, transportation challenges, or family needs.
  • Cannot be used alone to judge school quality, since many factors beyond the classroom affect dropout rates.
