High School Verification Reports SIRS TotalCohort Summary Reports: Terminology and Inclusion Criteria for Totals.
2012-2013 Total Cohort Reports Before looking at the reports, we’ll focus on some terminology. e.g. What is a “Total Cohort”; what are “Outcomes”?
Outcomes Tracked: Starting 4 Years After Grade 9 Entry • Graduated • Transferred to GED • Received IEP Diploma • Dropped Out • Still Enrolled
Total Cohort Report Outcome Definitions: • 4 Year Outcomes: Outcomes for cohort members 4 years after 9th grade entry or, for ungraded students with disabilities, 4 years after assigned grade 9 entry date*. • 5 Year Outcomes: Outcomes for cohort members 5 years after 9th grade entry or, for ungraded students with disabilities, 5 years after assigned grade 9 entry date *. • 6 Year Outcomes: Outcomes for cohort members 6 years after 9th first entering grade 9 or, for ungraded students with disabilities, 6 years after assigned grade 9 entry date *.
Transitioning to the USDOE Definition of Graduation Cohort • Began with the 2010-11 School Year and 2006 Total Cohort - 5 Year Outcomes. • Changes included: • Requirements for 9th grade entry date for ungraded students. • New enrollment exit code 8338 was introduced for incarcerated students not participating in a program culminating in a regular diploma. • Enrollment duration changes from 5 months to 1 day for 4 year outcomes for 2007 Total Cohort and beyond.
Transitioning to the USDOE Definition of Graduation Cohort - continued Cohort Membership Definitions: Guidelines for Ungraded Students: Students with disabilities, who are coded as “ungraded” for enrollment purposes, must be assigned a first date of entry into grade 9 not later than the first school year during which the student: • Is enrolled in a school where the earliest grade is grade 9; OR • When a school has grades earlier than grade 9 (e.g., K-12, 7-12), the first school year during which the student participates in any instructional and/or non-instructional activities with his/her same grade 9 aged nondisabled peers (e.g., student participates in extracurricular activity with 9th grade peers; student enrolled in music class with 9th grade peers; student attends grade 9 special or general education classes); OR 3. turns age 17, whichever occurs first.
Total Cohort Membership Counts The Total Cohort Membership Count is used as the denominator for the Graduation rate and rates for other outcomes. In the Total Cohort Summary Reports, it is found in the column labeled “Cohort Enrollment as of June”. It is calculated at either the district or the school level and is disaggregated by sub-group.
How is the Total for Cohort Membership in the Total Cohort Summary Reports Calculated? The Total Cohort Membership Count is based on: • 9th Grade Entry Date: The most recent demographic record is used for 9th grade entry date. • Beginning Enrollment: Only students with one of the following Reason for Beginning Enrollment Codes are included in the school and district total cohorts: • 0011 - Enrollment in building or grade; or • 5544 - Transferred in under the NCLB Title I "School in Improvement Status" transfer option; or • 7000 - Transferred in under the NCLB "Persistently Dangerous School" transfer option; or • 7011 - Transferred in under the NCLB "Victim of Serious Violent Incident" transfer option. AND …..Yes, there is more……

2008 Total Cohort Members: District/School - 4 or 5 Year Outcome
2007 Total Cohort Members: District/School - 4, 5 or 6 Year Outcome
Graduates - Data Integrity Issues • A 799 record without a diploma code or with a diploma code that is not on the list displayed on the prior slide will: • Be included in the Total Cohort member assuming it meets the general definition. • Will show up as Still Enrolled. • A credential without a 799 record will: • Be included in the Total Cohort member assuming it meets the general definition. • Will show up as Still Enrolled.
IEP Counts: Inclusion Criteria • The code for an Individualized Education Program (IEP) diploma cannot be selected unless the student has a program service record indicating that he or she is disabled. • A disability record with a Program Service Exit Date no earlier than the last date of enrollment must be reported for each student who is awarded an IEP diploma.
Students with a Reason for Ending Enrollment code 289 (transfer to AHSEP or HSEP) and A subsequent Reason for Beginning Enrollment code 5654 (enrollment in an AHSEP or HSEP program) that remains open. Students with a Reason for Ending Enrollment code 289 (transfer to AHSEP or HSEP) and A subsequent Reason for Beginning Enrollment code 5654 (enrollment in a AHSEP or HSEP program) and A subsequent Reason for Ending Enrollment code 816 (earned a GED diploma). Transfer to AHSEPP/HSEPP Counts: Inclusion Criteria The Grade must be changed to GD on Demographic and Enrollment when recording 5654 enrollment. Location code needs valid code for AHSEP/HSEP.
Student has a Reason for Ending Enrollment code of 289 (transfer to AHSEP or HSEP) AND There is no subsequent Reason for Beginning Enrollment code 5654 (enrollment in an AHSEP or HSEP program Student has a Reason for Ending Enrollment code 289 (transfer to AHSEP or HSEP) AND Student also has a subsequent Reason for Beginning Enrollment code 5654 (enrollment in a AHSEP or HSEP program) BUT The enrollment ended before June 30 with one of the Reason for Ending Enrollment codes used for dropouts.

High School Cohort Verification Reports Verification and Reference
Reconciling Total Cohort Reports using WNYRIC Data Warehouse (Level 1) Total Cohort Membership: Student Enrollment Verification by 9th Grade Entry Year • For each student in the selected grade 9 entry year, location(s), and grade(s), the report will display : Grade, Name, Local ID, State ID, Grade 9 Entry Date, Diploma Code, Diploma Type, Planned Post Graduate Activity, and all enrollment records for the most recent school year attended. (Ex: Grade 9 entry year of 2010 indicates students entered grade 9 in the 2010-11 school year.) • Path: Public Folders > High School Cubes & Reports > Grade 9 Entry Year Reports & Graduation Data Outcomes: Graduate Counts and Other Outcomes • This report counts the number of students by school year who meet the graduation requirements and other outcomes, defined by NYSED. It lists all students meeting requirements and selection criteria regardless of enrollment duration rules. • Path: Public Folders > High School Cubes & Reports > Grade 9 Entry Year Reports & Graduation Data
High School Reports: Common Errors • 799 Enrollment Exit without Diploma Types and vice versa. Included in Cohort total but not in graduation count. Will be counted as Still Enrolled. • Initial enrollment to GED (5654) without preceding 289 transfer. Will not be included in Transfer to GED. Depending on other enrollment activity preceding the 5654, may not be included Total Cohort Membership. • GED students with anything other than a GD grade in demographic and enrollment record • GED students with an invalid GED location • IEP diploma for students without a program service record for Special Ed. • Incorrect 9th grade entry date or birth date • Missing post grad plans • NYSSIS ID problems • Simultaneous enrollment: Student is enrolled in two different districts at the same time.
Verification Tips: • Use WNYRIC DW 9th Grade Entry Reports to begin the verification of general cohort data the year they enter 9th grade, versus at the end of 12th grade. (Path: Public Folders > High School Cubes & Reports > Grade 9 Entry Year Reports & Graduation Data) • Begin verifying Total Cohort Graduate Outcomes and Assessment Summary as early as possible during the course of the school year for students included in the Total Cohort Summary reports. • Keep in mind that although outcomes for the current school year may not be complete until end of June/early July, much of the data on the Total Cohort reports is historical.
