The four-year cohort graduation rate formula for 2023-2024 is:

# 2024 graduates (# of cohort members earning a regular HS diploma by September 30, 2024)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------X100% = RATE
# of first-time 9th graders in fall 2020 plus transfers in minus students who transfer out, emigrate, or die during 2023-2024, 2022-2023, 2021-2022, and 2020-2021

Five-Year Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate

The five-year cohort graduation rate is the percentage of students in a cohort, adjusted for transfers into and out of the school, district, or state, who graduate with a regular high school diploma within five years of entering high school. Any student who graduates during his/her fifth year of high school will appear as a non-graduate in the four-year cohort, but will count as a graduate in the five-year cohort.

The five-year cohort graduation rate formula for 2023-2024 is:

# of first-time 9th graders in fall 2019 plus transfers in minus students who transfer out, emigrate, or die during 2023-2024, 2022-2023, 2021-2022, 2020-2021, and 2019-2020
