Notes:

** = Attrition rate is less than zero (0).
. = The necessary data are unavailable to calculate the attrition rate.

Calculation: Attrition is calculated by (1) dividing the high school enrollment in the end year by the high school enrollment in the base year; (2) multiplying the results from Calculation 1 by the ninth grade enrollment in the base year; (3) subtracting the results from Calculation 2 from 12th grade enrollment in the end year; and (4) dividing the results of Calculation 3 by the result of Calculation 2. The attrition rate results (percentages) were rounded to the nearest whole number.

See also the IDRA’s Attrition Model for a discussion of the theoretical basis for this calculation.

For a summary of dropout rates over time, see the Longitudinal Attrition Rates in Texas Public High Schools.

Please, direct any question about this table to Mr. Roy L. Johnson, director of IDRA’s Division of Evaluation Research.
