Where This Data Comes From

A comparison of the credits students actually earned to what they were expected to earn:

  • Actual Credits: The number of credits a student earns while enrolled at the school
  • Expected Credits: The number of credits the student would earn if they passed all classes during the time they were enrolled

Why This Matters

Options schools are designed to help students catch up quickly. Many students in these programs are older or have fallen behind their original graduation timeline. By offering accelerated opportunities, these schools help students earn credits faster so they can graduate sooner. For students in detention centers, earning these credits can also be a vital step toward a smoother transition back into a traditional school.
