Baseline Data  As of Oct 4, 2012, 47% of the class of 2013 (192 Seniors) are on target for meeting the district guidelines for graduation.  About 53% of the Class of 2013 (218 Seniors) are at risk of not meeting the graduation requirements.  It is statistically invalid to compare class of 2012 data to class of 2013 data because of the changing constraints and requirements from year to year. Therefore, our baseline data to be considered has been identified by the school counseling team as of October 4, 2012.
