Each Year, nationwide,
1.2 million students fail to graduate
from high school!
One high school student drops
out every eleven seconds!
70% of students graduate from HS,
but African American and
Hispanic students have less than a 55% chance of
finishing high school with a regular
diploma!
28% of students with disabilities left school by dropping out!
One in three students with disabilities do not graduate
on time with a regular
diploma!
Dropouts are less likely to have a
driver’s license or checking account, and they are much
less likely to be registered to vote!
One in three dropouts with
disabilities have spent a night in jail!

How Can I Analyze My Data?How Can I Analyze My Data?
Step 1: Look at the students who graduate and
those who drop out:
• Primary Disability• Federal Placement • Age• Ethnicity
Step 2: Compare graduation and dropout data with:
• Regular Education Data• Trend data -- Look for Patterns—Multiyear Data
Base• Similar Size Districts • Districts in Your ESD• National Data
• Compare the schools and programs in your district
Step 3: Check compliance and “effective practices” for transition services. Do I have:
• measurable postsecondary goals based upon age-appropriate transition assessments?
• measurable, annual IEP goals that will assist the student in progressing toward his/her post-secondary goal?
• annual goals which include academic & functional goals?
• transition services that will reasonably enable the student to meet the post-secondary goals?
• the course of study needed to assist the child in reaching post-secondary goals?
Step 4: Check compliance and “effective practices” for post-secondary outcomes.
POST-SECONDARY GOALS:• appropriate and measurable • based upon age-appropriate transition assessments • results of those assessments in the present levels• related to
• training,
• education,
• employment, and,
• where appropriate, independent living skills
