Definition
NOTE: If students did not attend at least 50% of their senior year at one school, students counted at the high school they attended the longest, or the last enrolled if there are multiple with equal enrollment lengths.
South Dakota is required to follow the Title I Four-Year Adjusted Cohort methodology in determining Graduation Rate, as defined in 34 C.F.R. § 200.19(b).
Calculation
Numerator = Number of cohort members who graduate in four years with a high school diploma
Denominator (example years) = Number of first-time ninth graders in fall 2014 (starting cohort year), plus students who transfer into, minus students who are removed from, the cohort during the school years 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, and 2017-18
