Definition
Children Now used graduation rates from the cohort outcome data. Due to changes in the methodology for calculating the 2016-17 Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate and subsequent years, the California Department of Education strongly discourages against comparing the 2016-17 Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate with the cohort data from prior years. An asterisk (*) appears where there are ten or fewer students to protect student privacy. Numbers and percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number.
The Asian category includes Asian, Pacific Islander, and Filipino. The Other category includes American Indian or Alaska Native and Two or More Races.

Notes
Asterisks* An asterisk indicates that data should be interpreted with caution. Asterisks were used to note low number of events (fewer than 10) or unstable data with large confidence intervals. Data or estimates with low numbers and large confidence intervals indicate that a data point may not be a true representation of the larger population. NA (Not Available) Data that are not available are noted as NA. The most frequent reasons for using the NA annotation include the unavailability of longitudinal data, data suppression from the original data source due to a low number event, or statistically unstable estimates.
