One-Year Dropout Rate

This is the percentage of high school students (grades 9-12) who leave school before the end of the year without evidence of graduation or continued enrollment elsewhere. Since students who are not retained often face challenges in graduating and achieving future success, the district will provide school-specific data along with network and district comparisons to help identify schools that may need extra help and resources.

Why This Is Measured

This helps us understand how well schools are engaging and keeping students enrolled. High dropout rates are a sign that more support is needed to help students stay in school and on track to graduate.

What To Consider

This metric is key to ensuring that schools and families strive for strong communication and relational trust. Barriers that can put a student’s graduation at risk should be shared so that schools can provide resources and/or interventions to mitigate the challenges as much as possible. There are many reasons students may appear in the “dropout rate,” including:

Health
Work responsibilities
Distance from school
Alternative education programs
Transferring to a non-CPS school with no verification documentation
