Graduation Rate - BIE Consolidated Report Card

Tool Search: Consolidated Report Card

Graduation rates represent the percentage of students who graduated high school with a regular diploma. These rates are calculated as prescribed by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), which provides data to the federal reporting system. The Bureau of Indian Education uses the 4-year adjusted cohort graduation rate which is defined as the number of first-time 9th grades who graduate with a regular high school diploma in 4 years, in accordance with NCES requirements.

Graduation rates do not include students who earn alternate diplomas or certificates.
