State-Level Drop Out and Completion Statistics

State Level Drop Out and Completion Statistics reports the number of dropouts, enrollment, dropout rates, Average Freshman Graduation Rates (AFGR), and other completions by ethnicity for grades 9-12 for U.S. states. Data are not available for all categories in all years.

Reported totals for diplomas can exceed the sum of the race/ethnicity detail because states may report students in the total for whom race/ethnicity is not reported. AFGR is calculated using reported enrollment base variables, which estimate the number of first-time freshmen for that class. (E.g., 2007-8 graduation rates are based on estimates of the number of freshmen four years earlier, in 2004-5.)

This databsase also reports other completion statistics, such as Other High School Completers (OHC) and General Equivalency Diploma (GED) recipients. Many states do not offer OHC, including Arizona, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia.

Years reported refer to the first year of a traditional academic year, e.g., 2007 data reflect drop out and completion figures for academic year 2007-8. For more information about these statistics, see the National Center for Education Statistics, which is the source for these data.
