About These Reports

The 10th edition of Education Week’s annual Diplomas Count report—Next Steps: Life After Special Education—examines the experiences of students with disabilities as they make the transition from high school to postsecondary education, the workplace, and adult life. The State Graduation Briefs contain national and state-specific data on this group’s achievement levels, discipline rates, and high school outcomes.

This year, for the first time, Diplomas Count uses the U.S. Department of Education’s Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate (ACGR), as the primary source of data on high school completion. The ACGR is the method states are required to use for federal accountability purposes. Reports highlight state and national graduation outcomes for the class of 2013. This analysis includes the entire class of 2013, as well as additional information on trends and the performance of subgroups, including students with disabilities.
