AAE Data 2009 Graduates The data in this report represents students from the Class of 2009 in thirty-nine high schools in Marion County (Indianapolis), Sullivan County, Knox County, Vigo County, and Gary, Indiana. These thirty-nine high schools participated in an initiative called Advancing Academic Excellence (AAE). AAE challenged and supported the schools in a quest to increase the percentage of students, especially non-traditional students, who enroll and succeed in college-level courses during high school. Additional information about AAE can be found at The first three tables include data for 3,384 graduates who earned the Indiana Core 40 Diploma (traditional college-prep curriculum). Data was collected for each individual student using the ASAI Online System and then aggregated. The remaining tables include data for 8,832 graduates from the thirty-nine schools. Group data for each school was collected via the ASAI Online System and then aggregated.
