Table 12: Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (ACGR, 2012-13) for Students with Disabilities (SWD) versus Non-SWD Students

January 01, 2016


(Note: This table can be sorted by clicking on any heading)

Note. † = Not applicable: Data are not expected to be reported by the SEA for SY2012-13. Total Cohort Size (N) = the sum of all students in the 9th grade cohort in the district level ACGR file listed below. Percent of Students with Disabilities within the Cohort (%) = the number of SPED students divided by the total cohort size within each state. Estimated Non-SPED ACGR (%) = the estimated graduates from all students minus SPED graduates divided by the estimated total cohort of all students minus SPED within the cohort (i.e., using state level ACGRs). SPED ACGR (%) = the actual state level ACGR from 2012-13. Gap between Non-SPED and SPED 2013 ACGR (Percentage Points) = the estimated non-SPED ACGR minus the SPED ACGR.

Sources: U.S. Department of Education through provisional data file of SY2012-13 District and State Level Four-Year Regulatory Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rates.

America's Promise Alliance

Mission & Purpose

America’s Promise Alliance is the nation’s largest partnership dedicated to improving the lives of children and youth. America's Promise brings together 350 national organizations representing nonprofits, businesses, communities, educators and policymakers. America’s Promise focuses on ending the high school dropout crisis and ensuring that students graduate ready for college and the 21st century workforce. The Grad Nation campaign, launched in 2010, is the centerpiece of these efforts. The high school dropout crisis demonstrates a critical shortage of the Five Promises in the lives of millions of children.

The Five Promises

The Five Promises are the fundamental resources that young people need to succeed in life. They are: Caring Adults, Safe Places, A Healthy Start, Effective Education, and Opportunities to Help Others. The work of America's Promise is built around the framework of ensuring that more young people experience more of the Promises. Children who receive at least four of the Five Promises are much more likely than those who experience only one or zero Promises to succeed academically, socially and civically. They are more likely to avoid violence, contribute to their communities and achieve high grades in school. Receiving at least four of the Five Promises also appears to mitigate gaps across racial and economic boundaries. To experience the full power of the Promises, young people must experience these critical supports throughout their lives — in their families, at schools and out in their communities.

Leadership

America’s Promise Alliance is guided by leaders from all sectors of American life: The business community; nonprofits, community groups, policymakers, experts in children’s and youth issues, concerned individuals and young people.

Our History

America’s Promise grew out of the Presidents’ Summit for America’s Future in 1997 where Presidents Clinton, Bush, Carter and Ford (with Nancy Reagan representing President Reagan), challenged America to make children and youth a national priority. Building on the legacy of Founding Chairman General Colin Powell, America's Promise is the leader in forging a strong and effective partnership alliance committed to seeing that children experience the Five Promises.
