Why do I read in the media about reports containing conflicting dropout rates?
Dropout rates differ based on the purpose of the measure, the definition of a dropout, the availability and accuracy of the data, and the time period covered. Some rates, for example, cover only one school year; whereas, others cover multiple years. Some are based on actual student-level data; whereas, others use estimated student counts.
