Definitions: The Four-Year Graduation Rate is a four-year, on-time, graduation rate based on a cohort of first time ninth grade students plus transfers into the cohort within the four-year period minus transfers out of the cohort within the four-year period. This rate is similar to, but not the same as, the NGA Graduation Rate. The NGA Rate allows more time for Special Education students and recent immigrants to graduate.

Data Source: Minnesota Department of Education, Data Center.

Note: Maps use the natural break classification method, which reflects patterns in the data by dividing the map into naturally occurring groups. Using statistical tools, this method determines cut-off points for each group by identifying large gaps in data values.
