Completion data is released with a one-year delay by the State of Texas. Inclusion in a class
cohort is based on a student's first enrollment in the 9th grade within the State of Texas. "On
Time Graduates" are those students who graduate within 4 years. "Continuers" are those who
enroll in their 5th year of high school (primarily Special Education students). "GED" recipients
are those students who receive a Graduation Equivalency Degree within four years of beginning
high school. Dropouts are all other students who did not meet any of the other criteria and who
last attended SAISD.
On-time graduates have significantly increased in the past few years, improving by almost 10
percentage points, while students dropping out of high school have decreased by 8 percentage
points.
