What to look for

  • 4-year graduation rate is the share of a cohort who earned a regular diploma within four years.
  • 5-year rate captures students who took an extra year — useful context for struggling schools.
  • College-going rate is the percentage enrolling in any college within 12–16 months of graduation.
  • AP participation shows how many students attempt college-level coursework; the AP pass rate (3+) shows how many succeed.
