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. This article contains information specific to New Jersey. Refer to the main Graduation article for general information on the Graduation tool.
