One-Year Dropout Data

Note: The California Department of Education (CDE) is in the process of revising the collection of one-year dropout data through the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) and the aggregate reporting of these data through DataQuest reports and as downloadable data files. While the CDE makes these changes, the one-year dropout reports in DataQuest will not be updated and the previously available one-year dropout downloadable data files have been moved to the Historical Data Files section. Information about high school dropouts can be found in the Four-year Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (ACGR) and Outcome and the Five-year Cohort Graduation Rate and Outcome downloadable data files and corresponding DataQuest reports. Local educational agencies looking for information about middle school dropouts can obtain information from CALPADS snapshot report 1.14: Dropouts Count – State View (filtered for grades 7 and 8). Further questions can be sent by e-mail to the Data Reporting Office at dro@cde.ca.gov.
