Q1. If students enter in second semester as a 11th graders, do they still count in the graduation rate cohort? 30

Q1. If students enter in second semester as a 11th graders, do they still count in the graduation rate cohort? A1. Yes, entering transfer students are included in the count of the class with which they are scheduled to graduate, based on their date of enrollment. 31

Q2. If ESOL students are transferred to Adult Ed. and then withdrawn to their native countries before graduating, are they considered drop outs or are they removed from the graduation rate? 32

Q2. If ESOL students are transferred to Adult Ed. and then withdrawn to their native countries before graduating, are they considered drop outs or are they removed from the graduation rate? A2. The students are removed from the cohort as a code W26. 33

Q3. If special diploma students meet the requirements for graduation, but do NOT pass the FCAT, are they considered graduates? 34

Q3. If special diploma students meet the requirements for graduation, but do NOT pass the FCAT, are they considered graduates? A3. Special Diploma students do not have to pass FCAT to be considered graduates. They must meet criteria established based on their diploma option: Option 1 or 2. (See pupil progression plan) 35

Q4. If students are in their 5th year of HS and therefore already counted in the graduation cohort the previous year, are they also removed from the calculation for Accelerated Coursework Participation and Performance? 36

Q4. If students are in their 5th year of HS and therefore already counted in the graduation cohort the previous year, are they also removed from the calculation for Accelerated Coursework Participation and Performance? A4. The students would count in the Accelerated Coursework cells but not in the Graduation cells or the College Readiness cells. 37
