Graduation (Arizona)

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 on-target diploma information. Districts can track when a student first entered ninth grade and calculate their expected graduation date.
