Part B Strand Report

The Part B Strand Report shows how districts performed in comparison to targets for indicators reported in the Annual Performance Report (APR). Understanding the Part B Strand Report explains what data and calculation were used to calculate district performance. For districts that did not receive the Part B Strand Report, more information can be found here:

Target: >70.78%

Data Source: GADMSDS, and SRM

Data Year: School Year 2020–2021; Six-year cohort. This indicator has a one-year lag. School Year (SY) 2020-2021 refers to the period between July 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021 when data were collected.

See the Graduation and Dropout page on the Catamaran Technical Assistance Website for more information.

Calculation: [(# of youths with an IEP who entered ninth grade and received a regular diploma within four years) divided by the (total # of youths with IEPs in the cohort)] times 100

Calculation Notes: States must report using the graduation rate calculation and timeline established by the United States Department of Education (USED) under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).
