Public School Graduates and Dropouts

Nationwide, about 74 out of 100 students that entered high school in 2003-04 graduated in 4 years, according to the 2006-07 Public School Graduates and Dropouts Report. This First Look from the National Center for Education Statistics presents the number of high school graduates, the Averaged Freshman Graduation Rate, and dropout data for grades 9 through 12 for public schools during the 2006-07 school year. State education agencies provided the data to the Common Core of Data survey. Other findings include:

- Sixteen states had a freshman graduation rate above 80 percent while 12 states and the District of Columbia had graduation rates below 70 percent.
- The high school one-year event dropout rate was 4.4 percent across the 48 states and the District of Columbia. Two states, Pennsylvania and Vermont, did not report adequate data for inclusion in this report. The rate ranged from 2 percent in New Jersey to 7.6 percent in Arizona.
