Data: High school dropout and graduation rates

Spokane-area school districts Spokane-area high schools

These tables contain information from the Washington state Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction on high school graduation and dropout rates for the 2007-08 and 2008-09 school years, the most recent data available. Extended graduation rates above 100 percent result from additional graduates being counted in a graduating class without an adjustment to the the original class size.

Est. cohort dropout: Percentage of students who entered a school district in ninth grade and left school without receiving a diploma in four years or fewer.

On-time graduation: This is based on the number of students who enter the ninth grade and graduate four academic years later with a majority of their class.

Extended graduation: This rate refers to students who did not graduate on time, but have since received their diploma.
