Calculating Annual Dropout Rates
Summer Dropouts:Students determined to be a dropout over the summer before the start of the current school year.
School Year Dropouts:•Students determined to be a dropout during the current school year. ·Check against all other districts’ data to see if dropout is enrolled or graduated from another district (i.e. “found” students)
Returned Dropouts:· Check if any Summer Dropouts or School Year
Dropouts are reported in the following school year’s October 1 SIMS or in the GED database.
· Students reported as enrolled, graduated or earned a GED in any district are removed from the total dropout count.
High School Enrollment:•The High School Enrollment is based on this October 1 SIMS collection. This is the denominator when calculating dropout rates.
(1) 2011-12 EOY SIMS (2) October 1, 2012 SIMS (3) 2012-13 EOY SIMS -------- (4) October 1, 2013 SIMS
The final dropout rate = [(Summer Dropouts + School Year Dropouts) – Returned Dropouts] / High School Enrollment
