The graduation rate has increased significantly over the past twenty years. The rate rose from 59.2 percent in 2003-04 to 89.7 percent in 2023-24, which is a 30.5 percentage-point increase. Figure 1 below shows the trend in graduation rates from 2003-04 through 2023-24. When comparing to the 2019-20 and 2020-21 graduation rates, it is important to note that pursuant to Florida Department of Education Emergency Order No. 2020-EO-1 and Florida Department of Education Emergency Order No. 2021-EO-02, students in the 2019-20 and 2020-21 graduating classes were exempt from statewide, standardized assessment requirements stipulated in s. 1003.4282, F.S. Further, the graduation rate has increased by 2.4 percentage points compared to 2021-22, the first year graduation requirements were reinstated following the pandemic.  \nFederal regulations require each state to calculate a four-year adjusted cohort graduation rate, which includes standard diplomas but excludes GEDs, both regular and adult. The U.S. Department of Education (USED) adopted this calculation method in an effort to develop uniform, accurate, and comparable graduation rates across all states. The USED required states to begin calculating the adjusted cohort graduation rate in 2010-11. This graduation rate is currently used in Florida’s school accountability system in the school grades calculation.  \nFigure 1: Florida’s Graduation Rates, 2003-04 through 2023-24  \n100.0%  \n95.0%  \n90.0%  \n85.0%  \n80.0%  \n75.0%  \n70.0%  \n65.0%  \n60.0%  \n55.0%  \nFlorida’s graduation rate is a cohort graduation rate. A cohort is defined as a group of students on the same schedule to graduate. The graduation rate measures the percentage of students who graduate within four years of their first enrollment in ninth grade. Subsequent to their enrollment in ninth grade, students who transfer out or pass away are removed from the calculation. Entering transfer students are included in the graduation rate for the class with which they are scheduled to graduate, based on their grade level when they enroll in the public school system. District-level graduation rates are provided in Table 3. School-level graduation rates are available online at  \n[http://fldoe.org/accountability/data-sys/edu-info-accountability-services/pk-12-public-school-data-pubs](http://fldoe.org/accountability/data-sys/edu-info-accountability-services/pk-12-public-school-data-pubs)reports/students.stml.  \nIn the calculation, stringent guidelines are prescribed for not only the definition of a graduate, but also for the definition of a transfer. Students who transfer to adult education programs or are placed in Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ) facilities remain with their Florida public high schools’ cohorts.  \nHow Does Florida’s Graduation Rate Compare with Other States’ Rates?  \n• The most recent graduation rates released on all states by USED are the 2021-22 federal graduation rates available at [https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d23/tables/dt23_219.46.asp?current=yes](https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d23/tables/dt23_219.46.asp?current=yes. Florida)[. Florida](https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d23/tables/dt23_219.46.asp?current=yes. Florida)’s federal graduation rate in 2021-22 was ranked \\#19 in the nation. 1  \n• Although the federal uniform graduation rate is calculated the same way by each state, states have different requirements for receiving a standard diploma, which means that the rates are not directly comparable from state to state.  \n• Florida’s standard diploma is a rigorous credential for which standards and testing requirements have periodically increased. Because states have different criteria for awarding a standard diploma, comparing rates among states is problematic","cbCaimAdHz4R55he","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimAdHz4R55he","pdf",744237,"English","# Florida’s Graduation Rate\n## Graduation Rate Trends and Methodology\n## Comparison with Other States’ Rates\n# Graduation Rates by Race/Ethnicity and Sex","[{\"question\":\"What does Florida’s graduation rate measure and how is a cohort defined?\",\"answer\":\"It measures the percentage of students who graduate within four years of first enrolling in ninth grade.
