Tool Search: Graduation
The Graduation tool provides districts with the ability 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.
Graduation information is not currently collected in Idaho state reports.
See the core Graduation article for information on necessary tool rights, available Ad hoc fields, and guidance on adding and printing Graduation records.
