           Diplomas Count: An Essential Guide to Graduation Policy and Rates 

            Diplomas Count: An Essential Guide to Graduation Policy and Rates, the first edition, provides detailed data on graduation rates across the 50 states and the District of Columbia, and in the nation's 50 largest school districts. The analysis is based on the Cumulative Promotion Index developed by Christopher B. Swanson, the director of the EPE Research Center and a prominent expert on graduation data. 

            The report also tracks state policies related to high school graduation requirements.

            Along with a wealth of statistical information, Diplomas Count features closer looks at why high school graduation matters, states' wide differences in measuring graduation rates, the factors that predict whether a student is likely to drop out, the worth of the General Educational Development credential, and research-backed ways for educators to help more students stay in school and earn diplomas.
