Release of High School Graduation Rates

Excerpt from Informational Letter #5:

“With this letter we are releasing the 2008-09 graduation rates for all public high schools and private 60% publicly funded schools in Maine. These rates use the new, federally mandated, Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate method, described below and in Administrative Letter #14, dated October 1, 2009.

All high schools have previously seen their own 2008-09 graduation rates and worked with Department staff to ensure that all data and coding for students are accurate.

This letter summarizes the new method for calculating the graduation rate, how the new method differs from the old, limitations of the new method, transition and training, and provides additional information.”
