This included:  \n• An improvement in the state dropout rate from 1.9% to 1.6% . This is a reduction of 0.3 percentage points and represents 1,413 fewer students in grades 7-12 who dropped out. This is also the lowest rate that the state has recorded.  \n• 73% of districts had dropout rates that were the same or better than the prior year (135 of the 185 local education agencies or BOCES) .  \n\n| 2.3%\u003Cbr>2.2%\u003Cbr>Colorado Dropout Rate\u003Cbr>2.2%\u003Cbr>1. 8% 1. 8%\u003Cbr>2.1%\u003Cbr>1.6%\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 2016-17 | 2017-18 | 2018-19 | 2019-20 | 2020-21 | 2021-22 | 2022-23 | 2023-24 | 2024-25 |\n\nRace/Ethnicity  \nHistorically, there have been gaps between different racial/ethnic groups in the dropout rate. In the 2024-25 data, there is improvement among all but two student groups including multiple groups that improved more quickly than the state rate, but gaps remain.  \nDropout Trends by Race/Ethnicity  \nAmerican Indian or Alaska Native  Hispanic or Latino  \n State (Overall)  \n White  \nNative Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander Black or African American  \nTwo or More Races  \nAsian  \nInstructional Program/Service Type (IP/ST)  \nData from 2024-25 shows improvements across almost all student groups including a decrease in gaps between groups.  \n• Several student groups improved at a faster rate than the statewide improvement: Students with Disabilities (0.6 point change), Migrant students (1 .0 point change), and Title I students (0.6 point change) although these groups are still above the state rate.  \n• Foster students had the highest dropout rate of the collected program types and were the only program type whose rate increased from year to year (1 .0% increase)  \n\n| 5%\u003Cbr>4%\u003Cbr>3%\u003Cbr>2%\u003Cbr>1%\u003Cbr>0% | Dropout Comparison by IP/ST\u003Cbr>+1.0%\u003Cbr>+0.0%\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>-0.3% -1.0% -0.6%\u003Cbr>All Students Students with Multilingual Economically Migrant Title 1 Homeless Gifted and Foster Military\u003Cbr>Disabilities Learners Disadvantaged Talented Connected\u003Cbr> 2023-24  2024-25 |\n| --- | --- |\n\nRe-enrollment and re-engagement rates  \nStudents who drop out can re-enroll in school and continue their education within the same year or in future years.  \nIn the 2023-24 school year, 8,938 students dropped out. A similar percentage of students as previous years re-enrolled the following year (2024-25). In 2024-25, 26.2 %(2,338 students) of the dropouts from 2023-24 year re-enrolled. Of this group of students:  \n• 47.7%(1,115 students) were still enrolled at the end of 2024-25  \n• 19.5%(455 students) graduated or completed in 2024-25  \n• 26.9%(629 students) had dropped out again  \n• The remainder transferred to other settings  \n\n| Re-Enrollment Trend\u003Cbr>29.4% 28.7%\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr> 26.2%\u003Cbr>24.2%\u003Cbr> 21.5% 22.2% 22.7% \u003Cbr>|\n| --- |\n| 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25\u003Cbr>School Year |\n\nConcentration of Dropouts  \nWhile student engagement may be a challenge facing a number of districts across the state, the majority of dropouts are often concentrated in a smaller subset of regions, districts, or grade levels.  \n• Districts below 1,200 students have substantially lower dropout rates and paired with the smaller enrollment numbers, this is also a small number of students.  \n• About 85% of the state’s dropouts last attended one of 21 districts (about 10% of the state’s districts)  \n• Twelfth grade students have the highest number and proportion of dropouts  \n\n| Dropout Distribution by Grade Level |  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| 3% 3% | 10% | 12% | 20% |  | 52% |\n|  |  |  7th Grade |  8th Grade  9th Grade  | 10th Grade |  11th Grade  12th Grade |\n\nDefinitions  \nDropout  \nA student who leaves school for any reason, except death, before completion of a high school di","cbCaiciDRleV55UB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiciDRleV55UB","pdf",139354,"English","# Statewide dropout-rate improvement (2024-25)\n## Dropout trends by race/ethnicity\n## Instructional program/service type (IP/ST)\n## Re-enrollment and re-engagement rates\n## Concentration of dropouts\n## Definitions\n## Resources","[{\"question\":\"How much did Colorado’s statewide dropout rate change from 2023-24 to 2024-25?\",\"answer\":\"It improved from 1.9% to 1.6%, a reduction of 0.3 percentage points and the lowest rate recorded by the state.\"},{\"question\":\"Which student group had the highest dropout rate, and did it improve?\",\"answer\":\"Foster students had the highest dropout rate among the listed program types, and it was the only program type whose rate increased year to year.\"},{\"question\":\"What happens to students who drop out, and what were the 2024-25 re-enrollment outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"Students can re-enroll and continue within the same year or later.
