• Federal Dropouts = E1001 (C162) – Leaver Reason Code 08, 20, 88, 89 or 98
• State Dropouts = E1001 (C162) – Leaver Reason Code 08 or 98

Calculations:

• Percentages
  • All Percentages are rounded to the nearest tenth
  • Total Grade xx Attendance rows reflect student count only. There is no applicable % calculation.
