Graduation (regular diploma) and completion rate reporting changed in 1998-99 and 2003-04. 2003-04 was a year of transition to a new student data collection, and as a result 2003-04 high school completion data may not be comprehensive. [More] See formula for calculating rates.

This total includes actual high school completers, cohort dropouts, and noncompleters who reached the maximum age associated with the constitutional right to a free public education. [More]
