  9. More students stay in school Annual dropout rate for NC’s innovative high schools in 2010-2011 was 2%--significantly below the statewide rate of 3.43%. For early college high schools, it was less than 1%. Three quartersof all innovative high schools had no 9th grade dropouts in 2010-2011. One-half of these schools promoted ALL 9th grade students. The combined graduation rate for 76 innovative high schools with cohorts completing in 2012 was 88%, compared to a statewide rate of 80.2%. Early college high schools had a combined graduation rate of 93.5%.

More than three quarters of innovative high schools achieved “Adequate Yearly Progress,” or AYP, under the federal No Child Left Behind law.

Fewer students are suspended The median suspension rate of 106 innovative high schools in 2009-10 was 9 suspensions for 100 students, compared to a median of 24 per 100 students for all high schools in the state. For the 70 early college high schools open last year, the median suspension rate was 6 per 100 students.
