Harnett County Schools 2012-2013 Graduation Cohort

Presentation to the Board of Education

Sharon M. GaineyLEA Test Coordinator

The Who, When, and What about

Harnett County Schools 2012-2013 Graduation Cohort

Rate

Data Report required by the NCDPI to satisfy the NCLB (No Child Left Behind) Bill

4-Year Cohort**** (students who finish all State requirements within four years)

5-Year Cohort (students who finish all State requirements within five years)

A system that requires schools to track students progress through their senior year

What is Graduation Cohort?

Students who were enrolled in the 8th grade for the first time in 2008

Students who were enrolled in the 9th grade on the 20th day of school in 2009-2010

Students who transferred in to our schools and were on track to graduate within four years

It is not based solely on the number of seniors who receive a diploma on graduation day/night

Who is Included in the Cohort?

In late January, early February, the NCDPI sends (electronically) the LEA Test Coordinator a list of students who, according to their records, are a part of Harnett County Schools graduation cohort based on the data in their system

The information is shared with the school counselors and the search begins. If students on the list are not currently enrolled in school, we search for them in the following ways:◦ Counselor school records◦ Facebook◦ My Space◦ Spokeo◦ Judicial System◦ The NCDPI Search System

What is the Process to Complete the Graduation Report?

Students who dropped out of school Students who transferred to a community

college Students enrolled in the OCS (Occupational

Course of Study Program) they can remain in school until they are 22

Students who will not graduate within the four year period-if they graduate in summer school or the next year, they count toward our five year cohort rate.

Which Students Count Against The LEA’s Graduation Cohort?

ACT Results “North Carolina’s average ACT score fell in 2013. In past

years when approximately 20 percent of North Carolina students selected to take the ACT, the state’s average score was higher than the national average. With a 100 percent participation rate, the state’s average composite score fell from 21.9 points (Class of 2012) to 18.7 points (Class of 2013). The national average composite score also fell from 21.1 in 2012 to 20.9 in 2013.”

Harnett County saw growth in ACT scores when we compare our 2012 11th grade students to our 2013 11th grade student results.

“Summary results from the recent assessments show that students in the Class of 2014 are likely to earn higher ACT scores than the Class of 2013.
