           Who's Counted? Who's Counting? Understanding High School Graduation Rates

            by Lyndsay Pinkus

            This report, published by the Alliance for Excellent Education, explains the reasons why so many different graduation rate formulas and statistics exist, addresses why states report them differently, discusses the limitations and benefits of each method, and - most importantly - defines the policy changes needed to assure that educators, school officials, parents, and the public receive timely and accurate information about how many students are actually graduating so that they can assess their schools' current effectiveness and make improvements.
