Annual Dropout Data, 2010-11

Accountability Research home  »  Completion, Graduation, and Dropouts  »  Data Search: Year  »  Level

This page provides annual dropout data for all Grade 7-12 students by race/ethnicity, gender, economic status, program participation (bilingual or English as a second language, career and technical education, gifted and talented, special education, and Title I), and other student characteristics (at-risk, immigrant, limited English proficient, migrant and overage). In addition, this page links to campus and district data with and without students excluded for state accountability purposes (see Texas Education Code §39.053(g-1)). The Division of Research and Analysis masks some data to comply with federal regulations concerning student privacy, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).         

Definition

The annual dropout rate is the percentage of students who dropped out of either Grades 7-8, Grades 9-12, or Grades 7-12 during the 2010-11 school year. In 2003, the Texas Legislature required that dropout rates be computed according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) dropout definition, beginning with the 2005-06 school year. Therefore, annual dropout rates for 2004-05 and prior school years are not comparable to rates for 2005-06 and beyond. The Division of Research and Analysis presents rates for Grades 7-12 for all campuses. Although most campuses do not serve both Grades 7-8 and Grades 9-12, if a campus reports students in both grade spans, both rates appear regardless of the number of students served. The annual dropout rate formula is:

Annual dropout rate equals the number of students who dropped out during the school year divided by the number of students enrolled during the school year multiplied by one hundred

For more information on how annual dropout rates are calculated, please see Secondary School Completion and Dropouts in Texas Public Schools, 2010-11.
