Student Graduation

data.delaware.gov | Last Updated 3 Oct 2023

This file contains number of students and the corresponding graduation rate of students who receive a regular high school diploma at the end of their high school matriculation. There may be up to three graduation rates for a given school year. The 4-year rate represents the number of students who graduate with a regular diploma within 4 years of enrolling as a first-time freshman (9th grader). The 5-year rate represents the number of students who graduate with a regular diploma within 5 years of enrolling as a first-time freshman. The 6-year rate represents the number of students who graduate with a regular diploma within 6 years of enrolling as a first-time freshman. Because the 5- and 6-year graduation rates include those students who graduated within 4 years, the 5- and 6- year rates will generally be larger than the 4-year graduation rate.
