  • Published the Graduation Rate Additional Report on the School Dashboard Additional Reports and Data web page, including associated data files on this page, and

  • Published the College/Career Measures Additional Report on the School Dashboard Additional Reports and Data web page, including associated data files on this page.

Note that additional valid and reliable data have also been posted on DataQuest.
