Definitions: Number of students who drop out of high school before graduating and their percentage as a fraction of their net enrollment at 9th grade. Data are for a school year.

Data Source: Dropout and net enrollment data were provided by the Tennessee Department of Education, Office of Research. The KIDS COUNT division of the Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth calculated and converted all data from district-level to county-level.

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.
