[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 605853, member: 1967"] CB, I understand what you are saying. Thanks to the [U]federal guidelines [/U]of how graduation rates are calculated, every student that starts at a particular high school has to graduate in 4 years from that school or be counted as a dropout unless you can document what school they transferred to. So schools cannot just ignore students that don't return. Our attendance clerk has to track down every single student that does not show up from the previous year who has not officially notified the school where they moved to and the name of their new school. Our clerk has even made calls to Mexico trying to locate students. It is a mess. Luckily for us, my school has a very low transient population. I can't even imagine how schools with a high transient population can keep up with it. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
