Graduation Rate

These graphs show the 4-year and 7-year adjusted cohort graduation rates. The 4-year adjusted cohort graduation rate shows the percent of students who graduated (receiving a regular diploma) within four years of entering ninth grade. Colorado also prioritizes extended-year graduation rates, which account for students who may require additional time to complete high school, such as those who started below grade-level and students whose coursework is interrupted for a semester or more. The 7-year adjusted cohort graduation rate shows the percent of students who graduated (receiving a regular diploma) within seven years of entering ninth grade.
