Report 15.1 - Cohort Outcome - Count and Rates
(Updated 04/16/2025)
Description: Reports the Cohort Outcome Counts and Cohort Rates at a school-level. Counts and Rates are displayed by the cohort outcome categories: Graduates (HS Diploma Graduates, CHSPE Completers, Adult Ed. HS Diploma), Dropouts, Still Enrolled, Non-graduate Completers. Counts also include students removed from the cohort calculation.
Note: CALPADS has two different types of graduation reports (15.1 & 1.22) and these two graduation reports are used for different purposes. The cohort reports (15.1) satisfy the federal reporting of the 4 yr cohort rate. The one-year grad report (1.22) is a count that allows a school to get credit for their 5th and 6th year seniors and it helps LEAs that are DASS schools see what their rate might be for accountability
