Q. How does the “new” graduation rate calculation differ with Georgia’s current rate?
A. The primary difference is defining the cohort. The four-year high school graduation rate defines the cohort when the student first becomes a freshman, and the rate is calculated using the number of students who graduate within four years. The current graduation rate defines the cohort upon graduation, which includes students who take more than four years to graduate from high school.



It appears that, in the new method, students that take longer than four years to graduate don’t count in the calculation.
