Adhering to national guidelines, the Kentucky Department of Education changed the methodology of calculating the high school graduation rate to the Averaged Freshman Graduation Rate (AFGR) formula.The AFGR is scheduled to be Kentucky’s graduation rate formula for three years, with the first report generated in 2011. For example, the rate calculation for class of 2010 = ((The number of graduates with a diploma in four years + number of graduates with I.E.P. in four or more years)/(Number of 9th graders in SY 2006-2007 + Number of 10th graders in SY 2007-2008 divided by 2) x 100)).
