[quote=Anonymous]When you go to the Virginia Department of Education website the graduation rates are different. I don’t know where US News grabs their data from. The ELL issue is real in schools with a high immigrant population. And it’s been surprising to me how many students enroll in HS as new immigrants whose formal schooling was so interrupted that they can’t realistically catch up or have no knowledge of English to even bridge that gap. The state dept of education allows you to do highly targeted reports looking as all cohorts individually. Once you break out the ESOL community, the graduation rates are high 90s across the board. I also don’t know how Cat B students are factored in to the graduation rates, but many of the Title I or near Title I schools have large Cat B programs. Within those programs there is no expectation of an on time graduation. Many of those students will receive services until they age out. [/quote]
