Cohort Data • Cohort is assigned the first time a student enters 9th grade anywhere in a Virginia public school • Data is continuously updated in the Cohort table until a diploma is earned • If a Certificate or GED is earned, it can only be updated with a diploma • If a student with an IEP or in an LEP program is ACTIVE on the last day of school of the 12th grade year, the student is moved into the next cohort → “slider”

  11. Building a Longitudinal Data Set Graduation Completion Index SRC Table Raw SRC data - multiple records for every STI Each blue summary table includes data for the subgroups and an “as of date” Federal Graduation Indicator Virginia On-Time Grad Rate & Cohort Dropout Rate FGI & OGR cohorts are assigned during this process Cohort Snapshot Table A snapshot of the Cohort Table on a particular day “the movie poster” Cohort Table One record for each STI displaying the latest information on the student The snapshot “date” is the day before the first day of school (created after all EOY and Summer SRC data are verified but before the next FALL SRC) “the movie”
