And, really, it takes 9 months to make that information available? Why does DCPS have it ready so much sooner?

Not sure they do. Otherwise, all the calls for data in the endless Hardy threads would have their answer.
Hasn't that been answered like 10 times? Any doubters should call Hardy and post the answer.

If the website and PDF links aren't easy to compare (above), you can also find each charter high school's graduation rate in spreadsheet format here: https://data.dcpcsb.org/Performance-Management-Framework-PMF-/HIgh-School-PMF-2014-/s98p-6k8u

DCPS is a single LEA (local education authority). PCSB and OSSE are not LEA's, so they wouldn't track graduation rates directly, they have to report on what the charters (most are their own LEA) send them. That data may not always be consistent, and takes time to validate. That said, 9 months is ridiculous.
Sorry! Local Education Agency.

Graduation rates decreased from 79.9% to 68.9%.
I think that a better headline for this article would be "Charter Schools Unwilling to Release Graduation Data Before Data Is Fully Processed" or "Charter Schools Unwilling to Release Graduation Data Just Because You Asked."

It's in the update at the end, which was posted before you posted. So did you even read the article? Or just the headline?
