The rate improved by declining from 3.1 percent in 2019-20 to 2.2 percent in 2023-24. Additionally, the dropout rate declined from 2.8 percent to 2.2 percent between 2022-23 and 2023- 24. This is a 0.6 percentage-point decrease compared to last year. Exhibit 1 below shows the cohort-based dropout rates from 2019-20 to 2023-24.  \nExhibit 1: Florida’s Cohort-Based Dropout Rates, 2019-20 to 2023-24  \n\n| 5.0%\u003Cbr>4.0%\u003Cbr>3.0%\u003Cbr>2.0%\u003Cbr>1.0%\u003Cbr>0.0% | 3. 1% 3.2%\u003Cbr>  2.9% 2.8%\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>2.2%\u003Cbr>|\n| --- | --- |\n\nThe cohort-based dropout rate is the percentage of students who drop out of school within four years of their first enrollment in ninth grade. Subsequent to their enrollment in ninth grade, students who transfer out and deceased students are removed from the calculation. Entering transfer students are included in the rate for the class with which they are scheduled to graduate, based on their date of enrollment. In a cohort, at the end of four years students can be classified as graduates, dropouts or non-graduates. A dropout is defined as a student who withdraws from school for any of several reasons without transferring to another school, home education program or adult education program. In 2023-24, the cohort-based dropout rate was 2.2 percent, down from 3.1 percent in 2019-20.  \nThe department used to publish a single-year dropout rate. The single-year dropout rate often caused confusion because it was not comparable to the graduation rate. It represented the percentage of high school students who dropped out in any one year and was not an inverse of the graduation rate. The department no longer produces a single-year dropout rate.  \nExhibit 2 below provides the definitions for students counted as dropouts.  \nDivision of Accountability, Research and Measurement 1  \nExhibit 2: Dropout Withdrawal Codes and Definitions  \n\n| Withdrawal Codes | Definitions |\n| --- | --- |\n| DNE | Any KG-12 student who was expected to attend a school but did not enter as expected for unknown reasons |\n| W05 | Any student age 16 or older who leaves school voluntarily with no intention of returning |\n| W13 | Any KG-12 student withdrawn from school due to court action |\n| W15 | Any KG-12 student who is withdrawn from school due to nonattendance |\n| W18 | Any KG-12 student who withdraws from school due to medical reasons |\n| W21 | Any KG-12 student who is withdrawn from school due to being expelled |\n| W22 | Any KG-12 student whose whereabouts is unknown |\n| W23 | Any KG-12 student who withdraws from school for any reason other than W01-W22 or W24-W27 |\n\nCohort-Based Dropout Rates by Race/Ethnicity and Sex  \nFlorida’s cohort-based dropout rates vary by race/ethnicity. The subgroup with the largest decrease since 2019- 20 was American Indian or Alaska Native (-3 .0 percentage points) . The subgroup with the largest one-year decrease was also American Indian or Alaska Native (-1.5 percentage points) .
