Appendix 20: High School Cohort Definitions

30, 2007); or

the 2006–07 school year. The cohort year of students whose last enrollment record has a
grade of “14” (i.e., 7-12 ungraded) should be identified using their birth date even if they have a
conflicting entry in the “First Date of Entry into Grade 9.” Ungraded students are included in
the 2006 district total cohort if their birth date is between July 1, 1989 and June 30, 1990
(inclusive).
