No Show Dropouts

No Show Dropouts are students who were expected to return to school after a summer break following the end of a school year and do not “show up” when school resumes the following school year, did not attend school that next school year, and did not enroll by Census Day of the following school year. They are counted for the school posting the No Show exit for the school year in which they failed to enroll.

To be reported in the No Show Dropout category in CALPADS, a student must meet the following additional criteria:

  • Student School Exit Date = a date included in the No Show Reporting Cycle for the Reporting Year (See section Dropouts-Count)

  • Student Exit Reason Code = the following:

  • N420 (No Show Same School)(Retired 6/30/2014)

Or one of these exits starting Academic Year 2014-2015

  • E155 (Year End Enrllment Exit)
  • E150 (Mid-Year Update)
  • T160 (Transferred to another CA public school
  • T165 (Transferred to another CA public school due to disciplinary reasons)
  • T167 (Referred by school and/or school district to withdraw from/leave school for non-disciplinary reasons)
  • No subsequent enrollment is found for the student where the enrollment start date is greater than the “no show” enrollment exit date and on or prior to the end of the Dropout Reporting Cycle for the reporting Year (excludes subsequent records where Student Exit Reason Code = N470)
