NOTE: For 2006 non-accountability total cohort graduation rate reporting purposes, students<br />

reported with a Reason for Ending Enrollment Code 8338: Incarcerated student, no<br />

participation in a program culminating in a regular diploma will not be removed from the cohort<br />

and will remain in the denominator of the graduation rate calculation for the school and district<br />

in which the student last attended high school. These students will be counted as dropouts.<br />

(See http://www2.ed.gov/policy/elsec/guid/hsgrguidance.pdf for additional federal guidance on<br />

graduation rate reporting for incarcerated students.)<br />
