Preliminary four-year graduation cohort surpasses 90 percent in district report
Summary
District staff presented a preliminary four‑year graduation‑rate report showing increases and a rate above 90 percent for students enrolled continuously for four years; staff said full amended tables will appear in the board packet.
District staff presented preliminary data showing the district's four‑year graduation cohort (students enrolled with the district for the full four years) is back above 90 percent.
Highlights: The presenter said most demographic subgroups showed increases. The district report separates the continuously enrolled cohort from the state/federal report card measure, which counts students who transfer in and out. Staff noted alternative-authorized graduation pathways account for roughly 15 percent of the graduating class under district reporting conventions.
Why it matters: Graduation-rate measures vary by definition. The district emphasized the continuously enrolled cohort to show outcomes for students who experienced four years of KUSD high‑school programs; the presenter said the state/federal report card will produce different percentages because it includes transfers.
Next steps: Staff said the full report with amended tables and a public board packet will be available at the end of the month for board review.
