The median state-level high school graduation rate for ELs was 69% . It is important to note that the COVID-19 pandemic may have impacted some states' abilities to collect and report graduation data.  \nGraduation Rate Percentages for English Learners and All Students by State: School Year 2019–20  \nTen States With Highest Graduation Rates Ten States With Lowest Graduation Rates  \nIn states with the highest EL graduation rates, the gaps between ELs’ and all students’ graduation rates were smaller than in the states with lowest EL graduation rates. In New Mexico, there was only one percentage point difference between ELs’ and all students’ graduation rate. Whereas in New York, the state with the lowest EL graduation rate nationwide, the difference between ELs’ and all students’ graduation rate was 44 percentage points.  \nNote: The Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (ACGR) reports state by state calculated rates of graduation by measuring “the number of students who graduate in four years with a regular high school diploma divided by the number of students who form the adjusted cohort for the graduating class.” The original cohort of students in ninth grade is adjusted by adding students who transfer into the cohort and subtracting students who leave the cohort, whether by transferring, emigrating to another country, or dying. Comparison of ACGR across states may raise measurement issues. ACGRs are more comparable across states than the graduation rates previously compiled by the U.S. Department of Education. However, there has been some variation in the way that individual states have implemented ACGR requirements. Examples of ways in which the calculated ACGR may vary among states include how students are identified for inclusion in certain subgroups, how the beginning of the cohort is defined, and whether summer school students are included. In addition, graduation requirements for obtaining a regular public high school diploma vary across states. COVID-19 impacted states' ability to collect and report data. The Department urges abundant caution when using the data and recommends reviewing the relevant data notes and state comments prior to use and interpretation.  \nNational High School Graduation Rate Percentages for English Learners and All Students:  \nSYs 2010–11 to 2019–20  \n90%  \n85%  \n80%  \n75%  \n70%  \n65%  \n60%  \n55%  \n50%  \n79%  \n57%  \n80%  \n59%  \n81%  \n61%  \n82%  \n63%  \n83%  \n65%  \n84%  \n67%  \n85% 85%  \n68% 66%  \nAll Students  \n86% 86%  \n71% 69%  \nEnglish Learners  \n2010–11  \n2011–12  \n2012–13  \n2013–14  \n2014–15  \n2015–16  \n2016–17  \n2017–18  \n2018–19  \n2019–20  \nThe national high school graduation rate for ELs increased between SYs 2010–11 and 2019–20.

In SY 2018–19 there was a one point increase from the previous school year and in SY 2019–20, there was a two-percentage point increase in the national EL graduation rate. 1 Moreover, during those 10 school years (SYs 2010–11 to 2019–20), the high school graduation rate for ELs increased by 14 percentage points, from 57% to 71% . In addition, the gap in the high school graduation rate between all students and ELs narrowed by 8 percentage points, decreasing from a difference of 22 percentage points in SY 2010–11 to 14 percentage points in SY 2019–20.  \nPercentage Point Changes in English Learners’ High School Graduation Rates:  \nSYs 2014–15 to 2019–202  \nTen States With the Greatest EL Graduation Rates Increases  \nNevada  \nFlorida  \nHawaii  \nOklahoma  \nArizona  \nNorth Dakota  \nOhio  \nOregon Indiana  \nNorth Carolina  \n+43  \nTen","cbCaihgrsuDXyVfC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihgrsuDXyVfC","pdf",480533,"English","# State-level graduation rate ranges\n## Highest vs. lowest states and EL vs. all-students gaps\n## ACGR definition and cautions\n# National graduation rate trends (SY 2010–11 to 2019–20)\n## Overall change and narrowing gaps\n# Changes from SY 2014–15 to 2019–20","[{\"question\":\"What range of graduation rates for English learners appeared across states in SY 2019–20?\",\"answer\":\"Across the United States in SY 2019–20, EL graduation rates ranged from 39% in New York to 89% in Indiana, with Florida at 86%.
