Leaver Dropout Recovery 7th-12th

Summary: This report provides a count by campus, grade level, and all campuses summary for all prior year 7-12 grade students reported to PEIMS, along with counts for the current year statuses of those students.

Usage: Use this report to aid with the dropout recovery process prior to the end of the school-start window the last Friday in September. It can also be used to accurately report PEIMS information for the Fall submission.

Special Notes:

  • Totals for all subset columns might not add up to the Prior Year Students column due to students counting in more than one column. For example, a student could be recorded as a leaver and a return snapshot student. Column counts not summing to the Prior Year Students column could indicate an issue with PEIMS coding.
  • Dropouts, Movers, Not within School Start Window, and Additional Prior Year Students to Review columns are highlighted in red since these are the most important student populations concerning dropout recovery.
  • Starting with 2026-2027 year filter:
    • Additional Prior Year Students to Review column will include students potentially on the underreported list who will count against the school system as a dropout if not reconciled (should have a leaver record or re-enrolled).
  • Prior to 2026-2027 year filter:
    • Additional Prior Year Students to Review column will need to be compared to the SIS records for students who have moved to another Texas public school. These “movers” are not reported to PEIMS therefore they need to be eliminated. Students remaining could potentially be under-reported if no other updates are made to PEIMS records.
