Source: Intercultural Development Research Association, 1997. 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 the 12th grade enrollment in the 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. See also the Longitudinal Attrition Rates in Texas for a historic view of the dropout rates and comparison between the IDRA Attrition rates and TEA Dropout rates over time. |
