Presently, the emphasis on education reform and school accountability mandates greater attention to performance measures, such as the dropout rate, which serve as key indicators of a school’s success in maintaining its student population. In the fall of 2002, state accountability legislation required the ADE to assess school performance based on a set of measures, including the dropout rate. For this study, which includes the 2003-2004 school year, data were collected through two methods: the ADE’s online computer tracking system, termed the Student Accountability Information System (SAIS), as well as the Year End Enrollment online application. For purposes of this study, the data extracted from the Year End Enrollment online application, along with a limited amount of data from SAIS were employed. The majority of data taken from SAIS were excluded due to the inability to verify Year End status codes. Additionally, given that submission through the Year End Enrollment online application was not required by the ADE, only those schools that submitted Year End enrollment numbers through the online application, plus the limited amount of SAIS data, are represented in this study1. Subsequently, the numbers and percentages presented in the overview and results sections (i.e. enrollment, dropout rate) are appreciably reduced, and are not comparable with previous dropout rate studies. This study addresses dropout rates for individual schools, districts, counties, and the state categorized by grade, gender, and ethnicity. In addition, the data presented herein include cumulative student enrollment and dropout counts, as well as status unknown rates. ************** For this study, dropout rates are reported for grades 7 through 12 and are based on a calendar year that runs from the first day of summer recess through the last day of school in the spring. A sum of a school’s total entries over that time frame is used as the population figure against which a count of dropouts for that school is compared. It is important to note that this particular study produces a “snapshot” of Arizona dropout activity, in that it provides information only on students who drop out and fail to return during one school year. Students who drop out during one academic year and return in a subsequent year to complete their high school education are not taken into account in this annual snapshot. 1 State enrollment counts, dropout calculations, and other related analyses will only include verified data as mentioned above. Schools whose data were not verified will be listed in Tables 11 and 12 as will their dropout rate calculations. Those tables will be the only place that those unverified data will be found in this study. 1 Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 Arizona’s Graduation Rate Study, however, is a longitudinal study that tracks graduate and dropout activity over a four and five-year period for a particular cohort of students.2 For purposes of this study, a dropout is defined as a student who was enrolled in a public school at any time during the school year, was not enrolled at the end of the school year and did not transfer to another school, graduate, or die.3 Summer dropouts are defined as students who were enrolled at the end of the prior school year, failed to enroll at the beginning of the following school year, and did not transfer, graduate, or die during the summer. These students are counted as summer dropouts from the grades in which they were expected to enroll. Overview∧ An overview of the 2003-2004 school year shows White students had the highest 7-12 grade enrollment count for the state at 220,272, followed by Hispanic students (179,285). Asian students make up the smallest percentage of the student population with 9,204. (See Figure 1) Figure 1: State Level Ethnic Group Enrollment Grades 7-12 Hispanic 38% White 47% Asian 2% African American 6% Native American 7% According to information reported by local school districts and charter schools, the total statewide student enrollment for the 2003-2004 academic year was 466,156 students in grades 7 through 12, including students in ungraded high school classes. Of those students, 27268 dropped out of school by the end of the academic year, resulting in a statewide dropout rate of 5.8%. 2 Some studies attempt to calculate a 4-year graduation or completion rate by multiplying the annual dropout rate by four and taking the inverse of the result as the graduation rate. This method is inaccurate to the extent that students return to school in future academic years and are not reflected in an annual dropout rate. 3 See Appendix D for dropout formula and explanation of codes used to identify dropouts. ∧ These results may not be comparable to prior year’s dropout rate studies as a majority of SAIS data were excluded from these calculations due to the inability to verify accuracy. 2 Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 Statewide dropout rates by grade levels for academic years 1995-96 through 2003-2004 are shown in Table 1 and Figure 2∧.

Presently, the emphasis on education reform and school accountability mandates greater attention to performance measures, such as the dropout rate, which serves as a key indicator of a school’s success in maintaining its student population. In the fall of 2002, state accountability legislation required the ADE to assess school performance based on a set of measures, including the dropout rate. For this study, which includes the 2003-2004 school year, data were collected through two methods: the ADE’s online computer tracking system, termed the Student Accountability Information System (SAIS), as well as the Year End Enrollment online application. For purposes of this study, the data extracted from the Year End Enrollment online application, along with a limited amount of data from SAIS were employed. The majority of data pulled from SAIS was excluded due to the inability to verify Year End status codes. Additionally, given that submission through the Year End Enrollment online application was not required by the ADE, only those schools that submitted Year End enrollment numbers through the online application, plus the limited amount of SAIS data, are represented in this study4. Subsequently, the numbers and percentages presented in the overview and results sections (i.e. enrollment, dropout rate) are appreciably reduced, and are not comparable with previous dropout rate studies. Dropout Data: Arizona’s Reporting Requirement and Reporting Period All Arizona public school districts and charter schools teaching students in grades 7 through 12 are required to submit dropout data annually. The dropout rate study measures the proportion of students who drop out of school during a twelve-month period, which begins the first day of summer recess and ends the last day of school. Dropout data collected in Arizona do not coincide with current federal dropout data definitions used by the USDOE. Thus, Arizona statistics are not comparable to dropout statistics from other states using the USDOE standards.5 Definitions6 Enrollment is defined as the total count of students who were enrolled on the last day of school the previous school year, or at any time during the following school year, and used as the population figure against which dropouts are subsequently compared. Moreover, it is seen as a roster that changes continually (even during the summer months) as students enroll, transfer to other schools, dropout, or graduate. Schools are responsible for monitoring and reporting their enrollment from the end of the prior school year to the last day of the reported school year. 4 State enrollment counts, dropout calculations, and other related analyses will only include verified data as mentioned above. Schools whose data were not verified will be listed in Tables 11 and 12 as will their dropout rate calculations. Those tables will be the only place that those unverified data will be found in this study. 5 See Appendix A for a discussion of why Arizona’s dropout rate is not comparable to the USDOE definition and definitions used by other states. 6 See Appendix D for descriptions of codes and formulae used in this report. 4 Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 Students who are promoted from elementary feeder schools become the reporting responsibility of the schools in which they are expected to enroll.7 An unduplicated enrollment count is used to calculate dropout rates more precisely at different levels of analysis. For example, a student who attends High School A in District X has the potential to be a dropout from that school and is counted as one student served at High School A. If that student transfers midyear to High School B, within the same district, the student now gains the potential of being counted as a dropout at that school and is counted as a student served at High School B. However, at the district level, the student should count as only one student served by District X in calculating the district dropout rate. The means of ensuring an unduplicated student count at each level have been built into the enrollment codes used by schools and districts statewide. Ungraded secondary includes students who are assigned to classes or programs without a standard grade designation. Dropouts are defined as students who were enrolled in school at any time during the school year but were not enrolled at the end of the school year and did not transfer, graduate, or die. Summer dropouts are defined as students who were enrolled at the end of the prior school year but failed to enroll at the beginning of the following school year and did not transfer, graduate, or die. These students are counted as summer dropouts from the grades in which they were expected to enroll. Withdrawal type represents the unique withdrawal classifications used by school districts and charter schools to provide insight into some of the conditions associated with student dropouts. These specific codes differentiate the known dropouts (i.e., students who deliberately drop out of school, are expelled and fail to return, or leave school due to illness and do not continue their education during the academic year) from the students whose status is unknown. It is important to distinguish between a known dropout and a student whose status is unknown because each situation has a different policy implication necessary to reduce the dropout rate. Dropout rate is defined as the ratio of dropouts to the total enrollment, expressed as a percentage. The number of dropouts in any particular district, grade, gender, or racial/ethnic category is compared to the total enrollment in the same subgroup. Status unknown rate is defined as the ratio of status unknown students to the total enrollment, expressed as a percentage. A student is coded as status unknown by a school district after accruing 10 consecutive days of unexcused absences or when the student’s academic status or location is unknown to the district. Status unknown students are reported as a subset of the dropout population: each student whose status is unknown is considered a dropout, while not all dropouts are coded as status unknown. 7 In certain situations, students who are promoted from the highest grade a school offers are not expected to enroll in a particular school the following year. In these cases, some summer activity is not captured. 5 Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 Applying the Dropout Definition In general, a student is not counted as a dropout if there is documented evidence of transfer to another school. Some examples of applying the dropout definition to determine a student’s status are given below. The following students are not counted as dropouts: ♦ Students who leave school but return before the end of the same school year ♦ Students who are remanded to the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections (ADJC) ♦ Students who transfer to home-taught programs approved by county superintendents ♦ Students enrolled in alternative education programs, if the programs are either administered by the school district or approved by the district as full-time secondary education programs ♦ Students who do not return to school because they completed graduation requirements during the summer or at mid-year ♦ Students who leave school at age 22 and/or receive a completion credential, such as a certificate of attendance The following students are counted as dropouts: ♦ Students who leave school because they move out of the area and who are not known to be enrolled in other schools, i.e. status unknown students ♦ Students transferring to adult education programs in schools with courses of study not meeting standard graduation requirements (e.g., GED preparatory classes, vocational certificate programs, technical schools), regardless of whether they earn GED certificates ♦ Students who leave school and take correspondence courses, unless they earn and transfer sufficient course credits to satisfy the graduation requirements of the schools in which they are enrolled before the end of the same school year Transfer Documentation School records must indicate the withdrawal status of each student who leaves the school. Documentation of a student transfer to another school consists of either (1) a request from another school for a transfer of the student’s records or (2) information from a responsible adult that the student is enrolled elsewhere. Withdrawal codes used for students may change throughout the year as additional information becomes available. For example, a student whose status is unknown at the time of withdrawal is assigned a particular withdrawal code, but if a request is later received from another school for the student’s records, the withdrawal code then would be changed to indicate a transfer to another school. The withdrawal status stated for students on each school’s Year-End Enrollment Report reflects current knowledge at the time the report was filed. 6 Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 ANALYSIS Year-End Enrollment reports are required by each Arizona school district or charter school that teaches students in grades 7 through 12 or in ungraded high school classes8. Throughout this report, the reader should note whether the population in each analysis refers to a single grade, the elementary grades (7 and 8), the high school grades (9 through 12 and ungraded secondary) or all grades (7 through 12 and ungraded secondary). The enrollment count at each level represents an unduplicated count of every student enrolled for any length of time during the twelve-month reporting period. For example, a student who attended three different schools in the same district during a specific school year would be counted in enrollment at each school of attendance. However, that student would have been counted only once at the district, county and state levels. It is important to note that, due to reporting deadlines, information pertaining to students may be ascertained after dropout data are submitted to the ADE which may update school data. Subsequently, current school and district data may not match the data reported herein. RESULTS Enrollment Count, Dropout Count, Dropout Rate, and Status Unknown Rate∧ The total student enrollment for academic year 2003-2004 was 466,156 students in grades 7 through 12, including students in ungraded high school classes. The total number of dropouts was 27,268, representing a statewide dropout rate of 5.8 percent. Table 2 provides descriptive measures of dropout rates for individual grades and combined grades in the categories of elementary, high school, ungraded secondary, and all grades. Also provided are enrollment counts, dropout counts, dropout rates, and status unknown rates for individual and combined grades. The dropout rate was calculated by dividing the total number of students coded as dropouts by the total enrollment figure. The status unknown rate was calculated by dividing the total number of students coded as status unknown into the total enrollment figure. 8 The reader should note that, for schools that enrolled students last year but are not listed in Table 9 or 10, no data was submitted by the district or charter school. ∧ These results may not be comparable to prior year’s dropout rate studies as a majority of SAIS data were excluded from these calculations due to the inability to verify accuracy. 7 Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 Table 2: 2003-2004 Enrollment Count, Dropout Count, Dropout Rate, and Status Unknown Rate by Grade Grade/Category 7 8 Total Elementary 9 10 11 12 Ungraded Secondary Total High School Total All Grades Enrollmen t 76,816 73,739 150,555 88,916 80,606 70,010 68,239 7,830 315,601 466156 Number of Dropouts 2,037 1,940 3,977 5,049 5,124 5,198 6,571 1,349 23,291 27,268 Dropou t Rate 1.1% 1.4% 2.6% 5.7% 6.4% 7.4% 9.6% 17.2% 7.4 % 5.8% Status Unknown Rate 2.4% 2.2% 2.3% 4.2% 4.4% 5.0% 6.7% 12.7% 5.2% 4.2% Dropout Rates by Withdrawal Type∧ Table 3 shows the proportion of dropouts attributed to each type of withdrawal by grade.

Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 The percent of dropouts is more than sixteen times as high in grades 9-12 than it is in grades 7 and 8 (0.9% versus 16.2%). Furthermore, the percent of dropouts who are expelled is more than twice as high in grades 7 and 8 than it is in grades 9-12. Further study into the reasons why there is such a high rate of expelled students in these grades is necessary. In addition, the vast majority (more than 84%) of dropouts in these elementary grades falls into the category of status unknown. Many of these students have likely moved and enrolled in other schools to continue their education, but are included in the dropout rate because the subsequent enrollment could not be tracked. This situation may greatly elevate the dropout rate. In subsequent years, with the implementation of SAIS, it is hopeful the number of status unknowns will decrease substantially as student tracking becomes more precise. Nearly 8% of high school dropouts are students who have left high school to pursue a GED or attend a vocational school that does not offer a traditional high school diploma. This group of students has not abandoned school completely, but has chosen a non-traditional academic path. The response from schools and districts to this group of students is likely to be different from their response to students who leave and fail to pursue an academic path. School-Year and Summer Dropouts∧ Dropout data submitted by schools must indicate whether students left during the school year or during the summer. The total numbers of school year dropouts, summer dropouts and the subsequent dropout rates are provided in Table 4.

The dropout rate for females and males was calculated by dividing the total number of enrolled into the total number of students dropouts. For example, in the 2003-2004 academic year, 163,712 male students, in grades 9-12, entered Arizona’s public high schools over the course of the year. Of that number, 13,127 high school males were coded as dropouts by local school districts. The total number of high school male enrolled was then divided into the total high school male dropouts, resulting in a 8.0% dropout rate for male high school students.

Dropout rates are calculated by dividing each group’s total enrollment into the dropout count for each individual racial/ethnic group. For example, in the 2003-2004 academic year, 152,045 White students were enrolled in Arizona’s public high schools. Of that number, 7,264 White high school students were reported as dropouts by local school districts, resulting in a 4.8% dropout rate for White high school students. ∧ These results may not be comparable to prior year’s dropout rate studies as a majority of SAIS data were excluded from these calculations due to the inability to verify accuracy. 12 White Hispanic Rate Grade/Category 7 8 Total Elementary 9 10 11 12 Ungraded Secondary Total High School Total All Grades Enrolled 34554 33673 68227 40898 38183 35161 34360 Drops 747 639 1386 1251 1536 1748 2220 2.2% 1.9% 2.0% 3.1% 4.0% 5.0% 6.5% Enrolled 31300 29547 60847 34513 30837 25315 24562 Drops 877 874 1751 2592 2705 2613 3401 Rate 2.8% 3.0% 2.9% 7.5% 8.8% 10.3% 13.8% 3443 152045 220272 509 7264 8650 16.4% 4.8% 3.9% 3211 118438 179285 603 11914 13665 18.8% 10.1% 7.6% Native American Drop Enrolled s Rate 5395 254 4.7% 5036 283 5.6% 10431 537 5.1% 6917 906 13.1% 5374 586 10.9% 4055 480 11.8% 4058 518 12.8% 479 20883 31314 103 2593 3130 21.5% 12.4% 10.0% African American Enrolled Drops Rate 4229 4207 8436 4884 4513 3939 3722 129 128 254 270 273 308 373 3.0% 3.0% 3.0% 5.5% 6.0% 7.8% 10.0% 587 17645 26081 121 1345 1599 20.6% 7.6% 6.1% Table 6 (Cont’d): Grade/Category 7 8 Total Elementary 9 10 11 12 Ungraded Secondary Total High School Total All Grades ∧ Enrolled 1338 1276 2614 1704 1699 1540 1537 1704 6590 9204 Asian Drops 33 16 49 30 24 49 59 30 175 224 Rate 2.5% 1.3% 1.9% 1.8% 1.4% 3.2% 3.8% 1.8% 2.7% 2.4% These results may not be comparable to prior year’s dropout rate studies as a majority of SAIS data were excluded from these calculations due to the inability to verify accuracy. Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2002-2003 Table 6: 2003-2004 Enrollment Count, Dropout Count, and Dropout Rate by Race/Ethnicity and Grade∧ Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 14 Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 African American, Hispanic and Native American students continue to drop out at higher rates than White and Asian students. Native Americans displayed the highest dropout rate at 10.0%, including a 12.4% dropout rate at the high school level. Asians maintained the lowest dropout rate at 2.4%. Comparing Race/Ethnicity Dropout Rate to Previous Years∧ Figure 3 compares ethnic dropout rates for the previous four academic years. According to the data shown here, the dropout rates for all ethnic groups in grades 7-12 have decreased from one year ago. The largest decreases are seen in the Native American and African American student populations, decreasing by 1.69% and 1.94% respectively.

Consistent with Table 5, male enrollment and dropout rates exceed those of female students in the majority of racial summary categories. The largest gender difference is seen in the African American student population: 7.0% for males and 5.1% for females, a difference of 1.9%. Smaller differences are seen at the elementary level (with the exception of African American and Native American students); the gender disparities seem to widen as the students enter and progress through high school. ∧ These results may not be comparable to prior year’s dropout rate studies as a majority of SAIS data were excluded from these calculations due to the inability to verify accuracy. 16 Grade/Categor y 7 8 Total Elementary 9 10 11 12 Ungraded Secondary Total High School Total All Grades ∧ Gender Male Female Male Female Male Female Male Female Male Female Male Female Male Female Male Female Male Female Male Female White Enrollmen t 18079 16475 17408 16265 35487 32740 21245 19653 19693 18490 18156 17005 18174 16186 1988 1455 79256 72789 114743 105529 Rate 2.4% 1.9% 2.1% 1.7% 2.2% 1.8% 3.4% 2.7% 4.3% 3.7% 5.6% 4.3% 7.5% 5.3% 14.6% 15.1% 5.4% 4.1% 4.4% 3.4% Hispanic Enrollmen t Rate 16269 3.2% 15031 2.4% 15252 3.3% 14295 2.6% 31521 3.2% 29326 2.5% 17954 7.8% 16559 7.2% 15922 9.3% 14915 8.2% 13030 11.1% 12285 9.5% 12873 15.6% 11689 11.9% 1723 1488 61502 56936 86262 93023 19.3% 18.1% 10.8% 9.2% 6.9% 8.2% Native American Enrollmen t Rate 2719 4.9% 2676 4.5% 2528 6.7% 2508 4.5% 5247 5.8% 5184 4.5% 3474 13.6% 3443 12.6% 2657 11.2% 2717 10.6% 1921 11.8% 2134 11.9% 1929 13.7% 2129 11.9% 226 253 10207 10676 15454 15860 21.2% 21.7% 12.8% 12.0% 10.4% 9.6% African American Enrollmen t Rate 2271 3.6% 1958 2.2% 2245 3.3% 1962 2.8% 4516 3.4% 3920 2.5% 2516 6.3% 2368 4.7% 2386 6.8% 2131 5.2% 2091 9.1% 1848 6.3% 2051 11.7% 1671 8.0% 332 255 9372 8273 13888 12193 19.6% 22.0% 8.7% 6.4% 7.0% 5.1% Asian Enrollmen t 681 657 670 606 1351 1263 862 842 860 839 791 749 800 737 62 48 3215 3375 4726 4478 Rate 2.6% 2.3% 1.3% 1.2% 2.0% 1.7% 1.9% 1.7% 1.6% 1.2% 3.2% 3.2% 4.4% 3.3% Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2002-2003 Table 7: 2003-2004 Enrollment Count and Dropout Rate by Race/Ethnicity, Gender and Grade∧ 9.7% 14.6% 2.5% 2.8% 2.6% 2.3% These results may not be comparable to prior year’s dropout rate studies as a majority of SAIS data were excluded from these calculations due to the inability to verify accuracy.

Unified districts typically offer instruction in all grades, kindergarten through grade 12. Elementary districts offer instruction from kindergarten through grade 8. Union high school districts offer instruction in grades 9 though 12. Accommodation districts and special programs serve students with academic needs that cannot be accommodated within an existing type of district. Because of the various district types, aggregated school district data cannot be used for comparison purposes. For example, unified districts should not be compared to elementary school districts or union high school districts. However, data contained in Table 9 and Table 10 have been disaggregated (i.e. data from elementary and secondary schools have been separated) ∧ These results may not be comparable to prior year’s dropout rate studies as a majority of SAIS data were excluded from these calculations due to the inability to verify accuracy. 18 Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 so that accurate comparisons of disparate districts may be made within each table. Charter schools are designated with a “C” character. Table 9 contains the alphabetical listing of districts and schools that provide instruction in grades 9-12, dropout and status unknown rates for districts and schools and were included in the state analyses. Please note the sum of school enrollment may be greater than the district enrollment because the school level dropout rate formula takes into consideration student migration between schools in the same district.

Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 APPENDIX A: WHY ARE ARIZONA DROPOUT RATES NOT COMPARABLE TO THOSE FROM OTHER STATES? Questions such as “How does Arizona’s dropout rate compare to other states?” or “How does Arizona’s dropout rate rank nationally?” are often asked. While it may seem that the answer would be easy to obtain, it is not. This paper attempts to shed light on the different methods in which a dropout rate may be calculated and who uses which method. Arizona Dropout Rate Definition The Arizona dropout rate includes all students who drop out out of school, either during the school year or during the preceding summer (see Appendix D). The count of dropouts is assessed by comparing it to the total number of students who were enrolled at the end of the previous school year or at any point during the academic year in question. The ratio is described below, for a school’s 2000-2001 dropout rate: Summer 2000 Dropouts + School Year 2000-2001 Dropouts Students Enrolled at the end of 1999-2000 + Students Enrolled at any point during School Year 2000-2001 Conceptually, the same ratio is applied at each level of analysis, including dropout rates for school, district, county, and state levels. The actual formula that is applied varies slightly depending on the level of analysis to prevent redundancy at higher levels. NCES Dropout Rate Definitions The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) is a division of the United States Department of Education and focuses on collection and analysis of data pertaining to education in the United States. Each year, NCES publishes statistics describing dropouts (Kaufman, et al., 2000). The two types of dropout statistics reported by NCES are described below, including the data source for each. Status Dropout Rates: Current Population Survey Each month, the U.S. Bureau of the Census gathers sample data about the United States population through the Current Population Survey (CPS). Information gathered through this instrument includes demographics and workforce participation for each region. In October of each year, an education supplement is attached to the CPS. Information gathered through this supplement allows NCES to assess, among other educational issues, the proportion of the population age 16 through 24 who have not completed a high school program, regardless of when, or where, they dropped out. This proportion, the status dropout rate, can be used to describe the cumulative nature of our nation’s dropout problem, as well as the demand for education and training specific to the needs of these dropouts. Through sampling, data collected each year are useful in describing status dropout rates by region. NCES also uses three-year averages to describe status dropout rates for each state. However, state-level status dropout rates are less useful as school accountability measures. While status dropout rates effectively estimate the number of dropouts in a state, because they do not take into account where respondents dropped out, they do not directly assess the 68 For schools not listed here, no data was submitted. Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 performance of schools in that state -- especially in states such as Arizona where the population is rapidly growing. It seems reasonable to assume that many of those individuals contributing to population growth in Arizona did not attend school in Arizona. Event Dropout Rates: Current Population Survey Also collected on the CPS education supplement is information about whether respondents dropped out in the previous twelve months. Specifically, a ratio is formed: the numerator consists of individuals age 15 through 24 who were reported as enrolled in Grades 10, 11, or 12 in October of the previous year (in a public or private school), but have since left school. The denominator consists of all individuals who were reported as enrolled in Grades 10, 11, or 12 in October of the previous year. Because these event dropout rates share the CPS as a data source with status dropout rates, they also share some limitations: regional rates may be computed for each year, while statelevel rates may be computed as a three-year average (and, district-and school-level rates may not be computed at all). Event dropout rates estimated using CPS data more closely reflect how effective educators in a state are at preventing students from dropping out. However, the CPS event dropout rate does not separate those who dropped out in Arizona and remained in the state from those who dropped out elsewhere and have lived in Arizona for less than twelve months. So, for state-level event dropout rates, rather than relying exclusively on three-year averages of sample data, it may be considered more appropriate to look to counts of event dropout rates, reported by states to NCES via the Common Core of Data, described next. Event Dropout Rates: Common Core of Data Definition. The Common Core of Data (CCD) is an annual survey administered by NCES to state education agencies. In addition to other information requested on the CCD, states report event dropout rates based on counts of students who have dropped out of public school. NCES defines the CCD event dropout rate as described below, for a 1999-2000 dropout rate: Students enrolled at some point during the preceding 12 months, but who are not enrolled by October 1, 2000, and did not transfer, die, or graduate Students Enrolled on October 1, 1999 As a part of this definition, those students not accounted for on October 1 are regarded as dropouts. For 1999-2000 school year event dropout rates, the numerator includes those individuals who were enrolled on October 1, 1999 and/or at any point during the following 12 months, but who dropped out and failed to re-enroll before October 1, 2000. Also considered dropouts would be those who dropped out over the summer of 2000. Deviations from the CCD definition. Researchers have examined states' practices in the reporting of event dropout rates (Winglee, et al., 2000). Forty-six states’ event dropout rates were examined for years 1993, 1994, and 1995. Researchers identified three main ways states' reporting of event dropout rates deviated from the definition established by NCES (and therefore, the definitions of other states). First, states varied by the reporting calendar employed; while NCES defines a reporting period that began October of each year (i.e. the first day of school), in 1995, sixteen states' 69 In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, data pertaining to fewer than ten students have been replaced with an asterisk (*) to protect student privacy. Arizona Department of Education Annual Dropout Rate Study: 2003-2004 (including Arizona's) reporting periods begin in June of each year (i.e. the last day of school). Next, states varied by their treatment of students who dropped out of school over the summer; these students were enrolled at the end of the previous school year, but failed to re-enroll for school in the fall, and were not transfer students, deceased, or graduates. The NCES event dropout rate definition regards summer dropouts as having dropped out from the grade and year for which they failed to return (as does Arizona). In 1995, five states reported summer dropouts as having dropped out of the grade and year for which they were most recently enrolled (i.e. when the school year ended). Lastly, states varied by their treatment of GED program students. NCES regards students who leave school for the purpose of receiving their GED as dropouts (as does Arizona); In 1995, six states deviated from the NCES definition and excluded GED students from their dropout rates. Effects of deviation from the CCD definition. In addition to identifying how states deviate in the reporting of event dropout rates, NCES has examined the impact of different reporting practices on the magnitude of rates (Winglee, et al., 2000). When compared to the NCES definition, using a reporting cycle that begins in June (such as that required in Arizona statute) has been shown to result in a statistically reliable over-reporting of dropouts. Similarly, the exclusion of GED students from a state's dropout numerator has been shown to result in consistently lower event dropout rates. NCES proposes a methodology for comparing state-reported event dropout rates. However, when research on the effects of different reporting practices are examined, it is clear that differences in reporting practices seriously impact direct, state-level event dropout rate comparisons. Conclusion If dropout rates are to be used to make informed policy and programmatic decisions to address the needs of dropouts and potential dropouts, an accurate number, fully reflecting the problem, is vital. It is also important to understand the meaning behind the number. The difference between a status rate and an event rate is critical to making policy decisions. A status rate that represents the proportion of residents who do not have a high school diploma is very different from an event rate that represents the proportion of high school students who leave school. An education system is in a position to address the latter, but not necessarily the former. Given a percentage, those who responsibly report dropout rates to the public must be careful to consider the data source, as well as precisely what is represented in the ratio. Failure to consider this (often overlooked) information likely leads to a confused public. In Arizona, deviations from Federally defined dropout rates make comparisons impossible. Variations in methodology may lead to an inflated dropout rate for Arizona and the perception that Arizona has a bigger dropout problem than that of other states. However, the method for calculating dropouts in Arizona does not artificially underestimate the dropout problem in the state; the inclusion of status unknown students and GED recipients may, in fact, overstate it. 70 For schools not listed here, no data was submitted.
