Calculations for Measures
MEASURE | DESCRIPTION AND HOW IT WAS CALCULATED |
---|---|
Retention Rate | One-year retention rates were calculated by following a group of entering students in a given fiscal year (FY) and seeing who was still active the next FY. We cannot calculate the retention rates for FY23 until FY24 has passed. Percentages based on small numbers of students may explain the variation over time. |
