Abstract | Federal requirements stipulate that states and local education agencies annually calculate and report an Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate, disaggregated by student group. The ACGR includes all students who graduate from high school in four years with a regular high school diploma, plus all students with the most significant cognitive disabilities who are assessed using an alternate assessment aligned with alternate academic achievement standards. Seven states offer two or more curricular pathways leading to a single diploma, while six states offer two or more diploma options that meet federal requirements. Excluded from the ACGR calculation are students who complete a credential other than the regular high school diploma--such as a general equivalency diploma, certificate of completion, certificate of attendance, a diploma based on meeting Individualized Education Program goals or a diploma that sets requirements below the regular high school diploma. This resource provides details and examples of each of these state approaches. (ERIC). |
