Tool Search: Graduation
The Graduation tool allows districts to track graduation information used in state reporting, AYP (Average Yearly Progress) determinations, and NCLB (No Child Left Behind) report cards. Districts can track when a student first entered ninth grade and calculate his/her expected graduation date. Collected graduation data varies by state. This article contains information specific to Delaware.
Refer to the core Graduation article for general information on the Graduation tool.
